It would be nice if there is a way to match (filter)
messages with no subject at all.

Thanks,
Dejan

    You can kind of do this already by creating a text file, say
    alphanum.txt, containing the characters a-z (and 0-9) on
    separate lines. Then set up a filter "<Subject> NOT
    Includes '$alphanum.txt'".

    A work-around for this is to create a .txt file containing
    the alphabet with one letter to each line. If you name this
    file "alphabet.txt" then you can check to see if the
    subject "Not Includes" $alphabet.txt

    There is a more general point in your surgestion however:
    It would be nice to have "Not Includes RegExp"

    Just found this which seems to work:
    <Subject> Includes RegExp '^\s{0,}$'

    please disregard my last comment - "\s" isn't recognised so
    it doesn't work :(

    Feature Request: a more fully impemented "RegEx"
