Hello Folks,
It has been quite a long while since I last posted to this
mailing list.
I think that I have found a deficiency in the Word Boundary
match operators, \< and \>, of procmail v3.11pre7. What to do with,
for example ISO-Latin-1 characters at word boundaries? They are not
considered as being in the same class as normal alphabetic letters.
For example,
:0 B
* \<lance\>
will match against the French word "élance".
Can the match algorithm be corrected to allow extended character sets?
Of course, "\<" could be replaced by a big "[...]" enumerating the
special non-alphabetical characters, but this may be more costly in
terms of execution-speed.
Happy Easter,
--Ralph
