To use wildcards and get it accurate, you need regular expressions filterin=
g. =20
P*nis would filter anything from a five letter word to a fifty letter word.=
=20
I suppose you could use p?nis, but with no start point and no stop point=20
you'd get other bogus hits.
Outlook Express is easy to use, but its filtering capabilities are lame at=
=20
best.
