The caret (^ mark) is used to anchor something to the beginning of a line.
it is needed, or else your filter would grab messages with
"Subject:.*virus" anywhere in the line. It might be unlikely, but not
impossible.

Just curious of something. When trying to filter by subject, which of

This?: * ^Subject:.*virus
Or This?: * Subject:.*virus
I'm trying to figure out if the carrot is even needed or if it is,
where,
when and why? Cause it seems to work with the carrot, but I'm also seeing
