Okay, I've been studying Becky! for a few months now and I feel fairly
comfortable with most features, but I'm really clueless on escape characters and
regular expressions. Both of these terms are in Becky! and in the help file, but
I would like an example of how to use them - and possibly WHY.

For example, I figured out how to do a search for a tab character, but I can't
think of why I would do that. Searching for special characters is okay when
dealing with a technical document, but email is usually focused on content. And
maybe it's possible to combine a search for content and also a search for a
non-printable character. Examples would be welcome.

The same goes for regular expressions. I can find lots of webpages that (attempt
to) explain the term, but I would still like to see an example of use for Becky!

Thanks for any insight.
