Hi, i used the following rule: :0 * ^Subject[: ] ADV* $MUELL to
move marked SPAM to my trash folder ($MUELL).
I thought that every mail, having a subject starting with ADV,
would be moved to the trash.
Unfortunately, mails with Subject like 'ADMIN' are trashed to :-(
Because the "*" regular expression matches _zero_ or more
repetitions of the previous token. ADMIN starts with AD followed by
precisely zero V's...
