Don't understand this match

[Richard Thomas]

I'm not understanding why a certain filename has triggered the "Attempt
to hide real filename extension" rule. The filename is

Shortcut 29 t.xls

The rule is \.[a-z][a-z0-9]{2,3}\s*\.[a-z0-9]{3}$

As I understand it, that should match a period, followed by an alpha, 
followed by two or three alphnumerics, any amount of whitespace and then 
another period then an alphanumeric three character alphanumeric 
extension all of this being at the end of the filename.

The filename in question has only one period.

Of course, I'm not sure which particular version of regular expressions 
MailScanner uses (maybe the period is the "match any character" period.

Is there a bug in the regexp? Is this actually a valid match? Is this 
just a case of "upgrade to the latest"? Possibly I am just wildly out of 
date :)

Thanks

Rich
