[a-z]

However, this may not necessarily be the best course.  In practice,
some have found that they do indeed get valid emails with *short*
all-caps messages.  Subjects like: HELP or CGI or YOU GO, RYAN!!! are
plausable.  So another idea might be to kill messages whose subjects
have no lowercase and are at least n characters long.
