I am pretty sure that the software in qustion tries to match the subject
against a list
of regular expressions, and it found a match because of the "*".
If it's that, then we're again in the presence of stupid programming
(when matching with regexps, the wildcard is in the regexp, not in user text
user text should be interpreted litterlally...).
but I might be wrong :)
and I'm too lay to do a test. I fear their lawyers who could sue me
for sending'em email without prior authorization...
welcome to the attornet....
regards,
mouss
