RE: SA rule for userid in subject?

[jeffsal <je...@charter.net>]

I was wondering how to modify Lorens rule for the follwing type of emails
which I have been getting a lot of:

In the subject I get: "some word[s]-userid" or  "some word[s]-some
word[s]-userid"

You aren't too specific about the subject form, and you aren't specific 
about the To: form.  That leaves lots of room to guess and get things wrong. 
I'm guessing these aren't the fake forwards that were causing the OP 
problems.

You could try something like the following.  It is UNTESTED and may not 
work.

header RULE_NAME ALL =~ 
/\nTo:\s[^\@\n]*[\s<]([^\@>\n]+).+\nSubject:\s[^\n]{0,30}\b\1\b/i
