I'm getting a variety of spam but it all falls into a couple of categories. I
want to use a wild card like *target phrase* to catch the spam and send it to
the trash.
But * doesn't appear to function as a wildcard
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.recieve spam
2.right click on spam email add
3.create filter
4 select subject
5 type *target phrase*
6 save
7 run filter
8 filter doesn't move spam to trash
Actual Results:
8 filter doesn't move spam to trash
Expected Results:
move the email containing *target phrase* to the trash

Yes, I'd also like to see a wild card/regexp feature added to filtering as it
would simplify my filter rules quite a bit.

wildcard * doesn't function in mail filter as of
Mozilla 1.3a

What I'd like to see happen:
I've got email about a project:
subject=[jhotdraw - Open Discussion] RE: Final problem
I want to sift out all emails with the subject line containing "jhotdraw". So I
create a filter for subject = *jhotdraw*
Mail filter does not work
> I want to sift out all emails with the subject line containing "jhotdraw". So
> I create a filter for subject = *jhotdraw*
Why not simply do "subject" "contains" "jhotdraw" ?
