Hi Andreas

Have you tried setting it up like the other Subject rule there ie

("Subject"  ".*Tapemonitor" "tape-monitor")  ?

That should work :-)

Can you try it with "any" instead of subject?  You should also try
lowercasing it but I don't know if that matters (I always use
lowercase).

If "any" doesn't catch it, relax the regular expression to just
"Tapemonitor" and see what happens.
