I have been trying the Selective Download filters to avoid downloading
the SoBig infected files, and with the combination of the nine or so
Subjects plus the relatively unusual "Found to be clean" header I'm
feeling fairly safe that I'm reducing downloads substantially while
not killing any real email.

I did have a trial run with keeping instead of killing and then
deleting via direct web access to the mail file.

However, the problem is with the virus subject header of "Re:
Details". This is the only one which may turn up in my genuine mail,
though not just that phrase on its own, and it does not seem possible
to set the selective download filter to ensure that there are no other
words in the Subject line.

Is this possible using the regular expressions option?

As someone who has seldom needed to "grep", can anyone point me to a
*simple* explanation of how these work?

The need to delete on the server arrived when I was confronted by 12MB
of mail downloads one morning, almost 10MB of which was made up of the
100kb sobig messages.
