hi,

im my ~/.mailfilter i have a line like the following: if (/^To: test-[0-9]{8}@example\.com$/) ...

my problem: the regex above does not match a header like To: test@example.com

if i change '[0-9]{8}' to '[0-9]+' in the regex, i get a match as expected. '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' (eight times) also works.

why does '[0-9]{8}' not work with maildrop? should be a correct extended regex in my opinion. at least with egrep it works.

TIA, jukka
