Re: Contains

I almost get it..
If current node value contains "directnic.com" (keyword "contains" -
since the current node might be something like:

"Your sales respresentative <sales@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> is trying to reach you".

Then how would I set up your count example to test this?  So, do not
match elements that contain "directnic.com".
