.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This plugin allows regexp rules to be written against MIME headers in the
message.
.SH "RULE DEFINITIONS AND PRIVILEGED SETTINGS"
.IX Header "RULE DEFINITIONS AND PRIVILEGED SETTINGS"
.IP "mimeheader NAME_OF_RULE Header-Name =~ /pattern/modifiers" 4
.IX Item "mimeheader NAME_OF_RULE Header-Name =~ /pattern/modifiers"
Specify a rule.  \f(CW\*(C`NAME_OF_RULE\*(C'\fR is the name of the rule to be used,
\&\f(CW\*(C`Header\-Name\*(C'\fR is the name of the MIME header to check, and
\&\f(CW\*(C`/pattern/modifiers\*(C'\fR is the Perl regular expression to match against this.
.Sp
Note that in a message of multiple parts, each header will be checked
against the pattern separately.  In other words, if multiple parts
have a 'Content\-Type' header, each header's value will be tested
individually as a separate string.
.Sp
Header names are considered case-insensitive.
.Sp
The header values are normally cleaned up a little; for example, whitespace
around the newline character in "folded" headers will be replaced with a single
space.  Append \f(CW\*(C`:raw\*(C'\fR to the header name to retrieve the raw, undecoded value,
including pristine whitespace, instead.
.IP "tflags NAME_OF_RULE range=x\-y" 4
.IX Item "tflags NAME_OF_RULE range=x-y"
Match only from specific MIME parts, indexed in the order they are parsed.
Part 1 = main message headers. Part 2 = next part etc.
.Sp
.Vb 4
\& range=1    (match only main headers, not any subparts)
\& range=2\-   (match any subparts, but not the main headers)
\& range=\-3   (match only first three parts, including main headers)
\& range=2\-3  (match only first two subparts)
.Ve
.IP "tflags NAME_OF_RULE concat" 4
.IX Item "tflags NAME_OF_RULE concat"
Concatenate all headers from all mime parts (possible range applied) into a
single string for matching.  This allows matching headers across multiple
parts with single regex.  Normally pattern is tested individually for
different mime parts.
