Hello list,
have a problem with sieve script. I want to perform an action if an
arbitrary headerline contains a defined string.
I tried with regex:
if header :regex [".*"] ["searchstri.*"]
{
fileinto "junk";
}
This is not working because regex is only used in 2nd argument
["searchstri.*"]
In 1st argument [".*"] no regex is used, sieve expects just plain
string.
Something like this would work, if "x-myheader" contains
"searchstring":
if header :regex ["x-myheader"] ["searchstri.*"]....
How to solve this case and find a string in arbitrary/unknown headerline?
Thanks,
Hajo

Almost no one is looking for random strings in random headers, since headers are (somewhat) structured data. Could you share with us what string you are looking and why you don't know up front which header field you need to use to look for it?
