When filtering the mails in ten message list window for "***Spam***" also the mails containing " spam " are shown. Escaping the asterix \* does not work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert "***Spam***" into the quick filter. (I thing you will have some of these if not you are a lucky guy.) Actual Results: All messages containing spam are listed. Expected Results: Only messages containing ***Spam*** should be listed. This is a mayor function - at least for me.

It looks like non-alphanumeric characters get stripped from the search. I notice that "[" also gets omitted from my search terms.
Interesting... Using the filter term "/)(}{CMake****>=[)( for \/{}*[]…download:-)(<>=" still lists the message with subject "[ANNOUNCE] CMake 3.7.2 available for download". Replacing "CMake" with "Make" or "CMak", or "download" with "ownload" or "downloa", however, does not yield any results. Using "fo" or "or" instead of "for" does not make a difference, because words with less than three letters are ignored. Summary: "*ABCDE" matches "ABCDE" "ABCDE*" matches "ABCDE" "*BCDE" does not match "ABCDE" "ABCD*" does not match "ABCDE" The last two cases might be especially confusing if you are used to certain regular expressions. Obviously, only special characters at word boundaries are ignored. I'm pretty sure that most users would not expect this behaviour. Confirmed for 5.4.1.
Still present in 5.12.3 (currently in Debian). I was hoping to filter based on a specific hyphenated term, but of course I also get a ton of other messages that contain all of the words separately, because of this bug.
