B~filename=".*\.v-b-s":virus (without the hyphens)
I created a text file with a single line of text that said:
virus test file
And saved that file as "virus.v-b-s" (again without the hyphens)
I sent this as an attachment from an outside mail system and from an inside mail account, with only the word TEST as a subject and body. It was delivered to me without forwarding to the virus account as in the virus.fwd in my account's mail folder.
The same process with a filter on the I-LO-VE-Y-OU text worked fine and dropped the subject messages as well as a number of live ones into the proper mailbox.
I then created a rule that reads:
B~\p-v-b-s:virus (Again witrh those hyphens...)
And now my test message and attachment are properly forewarded.
I can only assume that either the "filename=" or the "\p" portions haven't worked correctly on my system.
