Today I happened to find out that mailfilter does support even the
extended regular expressions. I made a mistake with the syntax of the
symbols {m,n}. Obviously, however, different versions of sed, grep,
awk (and mailfilter) have slight differences in the syntax of
extended regular expressions. Sometimes it is possible to force
compatibility through command line options of those programs.
