    Hi folks,

    I'm getting lots of SPAM with subject lines like:

    [Bochs-developers] Re: DVGFKY, of the findirector[4]
    Re: BYBDD, said klavdia petrovna
    Re: MF, in connection with
    [Bochs-developers] Re: DVGFKY, of the findirector[4]

    So I've tried to knock up a regex match within KMail to filter out these
    messages and move them to the trash folder, marked as read.

    The regex I came up with was

    ^Re: [A-Z]{3,6},

    which does the trick, but unfortunately it matches messages it shouldn't, such
    as:

    [Bochs-developers] BOCHS VBE display 256 color (No Re: or comma)

    Re: Re: [Bochs-developers] Running Windows from CD-Rom (No comma, plus no U/C
    word)

    Re: (No U/C word or comma)

    Can anyone please point out/correct the problem here?
