ingo generates wrong procmail filter rules with special characters for me.
for instance, i want to create a filter rule that checks whether a
header-field (X-Spam-Score) has at least 5 "+".
therefore i create a rule where the header field "contains" the expression
"+++++"
ingo renders this into a procmailrc file like that:
 * ^X-Spam-Score:.*+++++

obviously this is wrong, as the "+" is a special character in regular
expressions and has therefore to be escaped to something like:
 * ^X-Spam-Score:.*\+\+\+\+\+

of course there is the possibility to use "regular expressions" directly,
but for ordinary users, i would expect the "contains" matching to be
ordinary non-regex syntax.

just in case this is a distribution problem: i am using debian/etch with
ingo1_1.1.2-1


i am pretty sure that this _used_ to work in older versions (i had it
running on i debian/sarge with the ingo version 1.0.1-1sarge1).

the problem is that my users have created  their spam-filtering rules a
while ago, and when they now update their filter-rules (e.g. adding
vacation notes), suddenly a lot of their emails vanish into their
spam-folders...
