Does mutt support multi-line regex for its search filters? I cannot find an yes or no in the documentation. I'm assuming its not supported, but cannot tell if maybe I am improperly escaping my regex.
I'm trying to match email body that contains something along these lines:
...
...(22)
sent ...
....
My regex I'm using for the limit command is:
~b \\(22\\)\n\nsent
I assume no multiline because this works as expected:
~b \\(22\\)\n

Huh, looks like it does not. At the risk of false positives you could do perhaps
~b \\(22\\)$ ~b ^sentto get messages with lines ending and beginning with the desired bits. – thrig – 2015-08-26T21:26:25.537This is the problem. I want specifically 1 blank line between the line ending in "(22)" and the line starting with "sent". There are some messages with text rather than a blank line, which is what I'm trying to filter. – Pete – 2015-08-26T21:51:59.630
