I agree regexes are easily messed up, which is why I'd like this to be in the GUI - to avoid mistakes. I'd like to simply be able to add a text string that would be added to a list of 'generic headers' (anything in a From or Envelope header) to not respond to - so if I add the string 'Autoresponders-are: evil' (minus the quotes), then the GUI would set up the regex properly. |
