Professional Software Engineering:
Hossein Movahhedian:
* ^From.+"James".+<\*{7}[^>]+@>
er, that (7) bit is meaningless to procmail (and doesn't match the
syntax for a standard grep count operatior either).
Also, as I pointed out previously, since From_ (the envelope header
used locally) doesn't bear the text name of the user, there's no
point to trying to match without the header-trailing colon.
OK, so let's get the {number[, number]} and the postmark From_
errors out of the way and talk about:
* ^From:.+"James".+<\*\*\*\*\*\*\*[^>]+@>
[...] the regexp above [...] would match some number of asterisks,
followed by one or more of a NON-wordbreak character - not
necessarily an asterisk
The [^>]+ is supposed to mean: a run of non-greater-than-signs
beyond seven, they're not necessarily asterisks.
That was in the specs.
