It now works with .* prepended, and I'm just curious why?

Well, uh, because the '.*' says 'match zero or more of any character',
whereas a literal space says to match, well, a literal space.

From: "Webster Bulletin" <adams(_at_)webster(_dot_)ac(_dot_)at>
       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I figured, it would ignore "Webster Bulletin"? But it's part of the From:
header - it makes sense - thanks!

        It is smelled as you try to improve procamil which already has
        "^TO" "^TO_" "^FROM_DAEMON" and "^FROM_MAILER". 
        Sory, "From:" is not in the list  (:-)
