The * is a wild char because there are probably other letters after office, e.g. . ] or space etc. I also tried: :0: * ^Subject:.*is out of the office* $MAILDIR/Trash
* is not a wild card character. dot is a wild card character. When dot is followed by splat (.*) that means "zero or more anything" So, the above says match on "subject:' starting in column 1 followed by any number of characters (zero or more) followed by "is out of the office*" I'm not certain what that last asterisk does.... did you try: * ^subject:.*is out of the office.* note the ".*" at the end, and not just "*" Don
