Guys, thanks for suggestions.

(Dan - I assume you accidentally left "d?" out?)

I tried these already and the do not work for all messages. This is what is driving me 
bonkers.

For example, the following subject lines are not matched (I also changed the pattern 
to have a capital D in it just in case):

        Re: *ist D for me
        Re: *ist (35mm) custom functions & 360FGZ flash
        Re: HELP - Firmware 1.11 for *ist D
        *ist D purchased on a whim
        RE: ENABLED limited ist D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        RE: Batteries for the istD
        RE: IST D and Pentax-F 1.7x AF adapter
        Re: IST-D discontinued?
        Paint Shop Pro 9 built in RAW support for *ist D
        istD price change

Also might I be right in thinking that in principle the * marks a word boundary anyway 
so \*? is redundant and -? is also redundant as I am also interested in "ist" matches 
and - marks a word boundary. It may be a red herring, but it also seems to me that 
with \b at the end, subject lines ending with ist are not matched for some reason I do 
not understand.

I take it that the default setting for matching is already caseless in The Bat as you 
have not included (?i) instructions or case alternatives?

Thanks for trying. Any more thoughts?
