Changes for MSFilter2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
****** WARNING ******* I have not tested this version AT ALL. I no
****** WARNING ******* longer run MSFilter, so I didn't test it.
****** WARNING ******* PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP IF IT WORKS AS IT
****** WARNING ******* SHOULD OR NOT!!! I can't fix it if I don't
****** WARNING ******* know it's broken. If it isn't broken (I hope
****** WARNING ******* it isn't, I did check the code carefully),
****** WARNING ******* please let me know anyway!
Increased filter text buffers to 1000 lines each. This should be enough
to filter almost anything!
Changed from anchored string compare to substring find in comparisons.
This means that rather than looking for a match at the beginning of
the string, it will check the entire string. So, if the filter
string is
sex
it will filter
sex
wierdsex
essex
abcsexdef
The keep filters also use a substring search, so if sex was a keep
filter, any of the above strings would result in the message being kept.
Keep checking is still done before filter checking, so messages that
would have otherwise been filtered may still be kept based on your
criteria.
DO NOT SPECIFY WILDCARDS. If you want to filter sex anywhere in a
string, DO NOT SPECIFY *sex* or #?sex#?!!! Just specify sex.
Why did I do it this way? Because it was easier this way, and I was
lazy :-)

Hopefully fixed filter problem in subject caused by incorrect case
in leftover code...
