Yes, long headers can optionally be "folded" at 78 chars for better readability. See RFC 2822 for more info. > List-Id: blahblahblah blah > <somemaillinglistemail.myemailserver.com> > > And if they _are_ legal, what is the best way to match against > multi-line headers with the incoming filter 'headers' directive? Here is an example that I use: headers '^References:(.|\n)*<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' ok The (.|\n) is necessary so that newlines will be traversed. See http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-re.html for more on Python re module syntax. Of course, if you're just trying to identify mail from a particular list, you'd be better off using 'from' or 'from-file' to match the envelope sender address of the list messages. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
