>From the maildropfilter(5) man page:
"pattern" may not start with a space, because the leading
slash will be interpreted as a division sign. If you must
search for something that starts with a space, use some-
thing like "/[ ] ... /".
However, when editing filters via the SqWebMail filter editor, you can
specify a pattern with spaces before. This will always be an error.
I'm not sure that I know of a good way to both allow "powerful" regexps
via the web page interface and keep it simple for end-users.
I do think that the web interface should make an effort to not accept
input that will -always- be invalid. If a leading space is -always- an
error, either convert it to [ ] or throw an error.
I believe that other strings, if perhaps non-sensical as regexps, are
still legal.
Sam, thoughts?
