Block mail by subject content with MCP

[Steen, Glenn]

    [ The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

You think? IMHO I'm pretty proficient with both REs and PCREs:-).
BTW, if one should google for it one should probably look for
"perl compatible regular expressions"... ;)
