Hi,
I would like, if it's possible, to do a filter who accept all thes subject with "joe" but not the subject with "joe" and "bill".
So I will see the subjects with "joe......john" but not with "joe.....bill".
I am clear enough

I answer to myself.
Silly question
put joe into the accept filter and bill into the deny filter (because I don't want to see all the subjects with bill).
But my question remain if I want to filter just the subjects for joe and bill into the same subject.

I don't this it's just an AND.
It's more like : joe NOT (joe AND bill)

the problem is that RegEx does not include an explicit AND operator so you have to work around that limitation.

Yes, so enter "Joe" in the accept, and "Joe AND Bill" (using the regex explained there) in the reject.
But this will accomplish the same thing as just "Joe" in the accept and "Bill" in the reject, since anything passing the Joe filter already has Joe in it, so rejecting "Joe AND Bill" is redundant.
