I think filteri.dat checks the entire header, not just the subject line. so you might need to open the trapped msg file in an editor or view the source of the message to see the entire header. and any time the the letter h is immediately followed by the letter i in that header your message would be trapped. that probably would happen somewhat frequently, I'd think.
