Any idea why e-mails containing this syntax in it are filtered with my COM
rule (to delete COM attachments)?

Here's the IMail rule:

name=".*\pcom"


Here's the specific syntax of the e-Mail that triggers it as TRUE:

<meta name="">
<href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">

There are not attachments and this information is not typed in by the user..
it seems to be autogenerated by their HTML-capable e-mail client. I chopped
out extra html and formatting things and came up with the lean syntax above
that makes a positive hit on the filter.

Not all HTML mail is affected by this rule. I have caught messages mailed
from Microsoft Outlook, Build 10.0.2616  and Netscape (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;
U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031026 Thunderbird/0.4a ) with a
positive result (no attachments at all). It doesn't seem a problem with a
specific e-mail client as it does with IMail interpretting certain syntax as
COM files. I'm using IMail 7.07. Is this a bug or is my rule not correct?
