Thanks era, I'll change it according to your recommendations below.
Re; your previous email concerning shells, I got an interesting book by
a fella called Schullman on Bash. It's kinda old, but seems to
cover the subject in something approaching plain English. (Wow!)

No; make this
* ^From:(.*\<)?hdskin(_at_)msn\(_dot_)com\>
or at least
* ^From:[ ]*hdskin(_at_)msn\(_dot_)com
The \< and \> tokens try to make sure the matched sequence isn't part
of a longer phrase (like mahdskin(_at_)msn(_dot_)command(_dot_)com) and of
course, if
you want to match a literal dot, you should always backslash-escape it
(especially when it's between two fairly short tokens, as the case is
here. Without the backslash, you'd accidentally match on e.g. msndcom
or whatever).
