However, it goes on to say:
There *can* be a Keywords: header in the message headers. This occurs most commonly in messages gatewayed from news... although I suppose you could have your Email client add one as well. > "By default, you can put a Keywords: section in the beginning of the > body of your message, but this can be configured by your list > admiinistrator." > > I take that to mean that if I define the topic with the Regular > Expression "Keywords: Licensing", that all I have to do to match the > topic is to compose my message body like this: > > Keywords: Licensing > > blah blah blah. The Keywords: or Subject: psuedo headers need to appear within the first topics_bodylines_limit of a text/plain message (or the text/plain part of a multipart/alternative message). By default, it just looks at the first 5 lines of the body (but it can be changed to scan all or none of the message looking for the psuedo headers). The regular expression search is done in a case insensitive way. When a match is detected, the message gets an X-Topics: header showing the matching topic name. The regular expression should not be trying to match the Keywords: or Subject: field name... only the "content" of those headers, or "licensing" in your example. > However, I don't receive the message.

If you are sending text/plain messages with the psuedo header words starting in the first column, you might want to confirm the value of the of topics_bodylines_limit for the list.
