As always your solution was right on the nose.  The above regex works
perfectly when used in "Message Finder".  However it doesn't work when
I combine it with the %REGEXPTEXT macro in a reply template.  Since I
have extracted single lines of text from an original message using
regular expressions and the %REGEXPTEXT macro should I conclude that
%REGEXPTEXT can only hold a single line of text?

Not at all, it's wife who's worried.  She insists that having two children
in the family with the same first name is too "George Foreman" and is
threatening drastic measures.  In order to keep the peace Louis
remains Louis (for the time being).  However I did name the rumpus
room after you.

Thanks again,

 Arnie
