problem solved and just involved reading up in elisp regular
expressions.

In the regexp it was .*word rather than *.word : not too difficult after
all :)

Next problem : does anyone have an example of how to set personalities
based in mail group? I have nnmaildir groups set up : but the ng regexp
for "electric headers" doesnt seem to work with these group "names"
since there is no "newsgroup" field for this case.
