I'm not sure you understand the regular expression.

above is split into 5 parts:
[ \t] -> Must start with a space or tab. (some pastings of command
line promts have ":/" in them.
>? -> An optional ">" - A frown.
[;:] -> The eyes
[-=]? -> optional nose.
[PpD)/(|}{><] -> different mouths.
if you take your first regex: "[t\>\<\=;:?PpD)(|}{><]"
You have one group of characters.
a t, >, <, =, ;, : (optional), P, p, D, ... etc
<, > and = are not special in this context, so dont need to be escaped. the
t does, because it refers to a tab.
Your second regex has two empty sets.
Your third will match *any* '-' in the message.

Plug-and-Play is really nice, unfortunately it only works 50% of the time.
To be specific the "Plug" almost always works. --unknown source
