getting the rule right.

Hi

Here is the first bit of the _first_ (normally hidden  header of mails from the 
vim list.  I
want to use this header to trap mail from the list.  There is a reason why I
want to use this particular header.

From vim-return-152


This catches the mail but is too indiscriminate:
:0:
*^From .*vim*
vim

These two both fail to catch the mail
:0:
*^From .*vim-ret
vim


:0:
*^From .*vim-ret*
vim


I cannot understand why the last ones do not match the header above.
Any suggestions?

Thanx
