Hi. I have 2 questions about kmail (version 1.2 using KDE 2.1.1; RedHat 7.1):

First, I am trying to create a regex mail filter, combining many choices
with an '|' character to filter out spam. My test filter is (not including
the single quotes): 'spam1|spam2'. The filter works with the simple (lame)
regex 'spam1' if it is 'spam2' but not with the combined filter
'spam1|spam2'. How can I create more complex regex's?

Second, I was wondering if, when I click on a URL in an email message,
can I get kmail to simply open the URL in netscape? Right now it downloads
the URL to a temporary file and then opens that in netscape (causing any
relative links to fail).

Thanks for any info on either of these problems.

The regular expressions available in KDE 2.1 are very basic, you
can read the documentation over here: http://doc.trolltech.com/qregexp.html

KMail & KNode in KDE 2.2 will have use a backport of the Qt 3.0
reqexp class which is much more powerfull.

Greetings

Had a nice thread on the same problem in the kde-user ML. Don't know the
exact conifg-file, but moving your ~.kde dir did work. Let KDE recreate the
config files should fix this.
