It works well over here, I do not get results that contain any false positives. I have a filter to move messages to a certain folder, and it contains only three letters in Headers. I get a lot of false positives, because this combination can be in any of the headers by coincidence or for another reason. -- Cheers, Thomas. Message reply created with The Bat!
