Hmm, one problem here - this matches the sqfixes archive procmail regex so the [CANNOT] messages will appear in the archive:

    ^Subject: \[.*(FIX|ENH|ADD|ANN|GOOD|HACK).*\]

Any idea on improving this reg ex? It must, for example, match "[BUG][FIX]" but not "Re: [FIX]".

It was no joke.

The above is the current regex. It unfortunately matches a [CANNOT] tag. It should only match [ANN] or [ANNOUNCE]. I could of course remove the ANN. But there are other problems as well, like the "[BUG] Re: [FIX]" case. I'm not exactly a regex buff.

So my question is: Can anybody come up with a regular expression that matches all of Subject: [ANN] ... Subject: [BUG] [ANN] .... but none of Subject: Re: [ANN] ... Subject: [BUG] Re: [ANN] .... Subject: [CANNOT] ...

were ANN should also allow any of FIX, ENH, ADD, ANN, GOOD, HACK to allow [FIX], [ENHANCEMENT], [ADDON], [ADD-ON], [GOODIE] ...

-- Bert

A first idea (not tested, and there are som variants of reg ex'es): grep with ^Subject: ([BUG])?([(FIX|ENH|ADD|ANN|GOOD|HACK|ADDON|ADD-ON)])+ and then grep --revertMatch with [RE:|Re:|re] .
