The answer is in the changes log. They have added Perl style regular
expressions to certain areas of TB!. Regular expressions (regexp) are
patterns that match against text and allow for the inclusion or exclusion of
said text in a very powerful manner. Anyone who has done any work on unix
with either grep, perl or sed will know what regexps do and will most likely
be doing the jig next to their keyboard when they find out they are in TB!.
BTW, it is something that I've been trying to get into PMMail for years.
