Any subject that contains 7 spaces or 6 periods or 6 period/space combos or
6 dashes or 6 underscores anywhere in the subject.

Use with caution I had to bump up the numbers of some of these due to
clueless clients.

Search the web for regexp (REGular EXPressions) and pcre (perl compatible
regular expressions) minor but important differences.
