Using Wildcard Characters with ACTIONPREFIX and ACTIONUSER

Use the asterisk (*) wildcard character when you want to specify a message ID or user ID with any number of trailing characters in a string. Use the pound (#) wildcard character when you want to specify single character placeholders.

For example, to highlight all messages with message IDs that start with TEST, issue this command:

SETOPTION ACTIONPREFIX=TEST*

Important! To avoid defining an excessive number of highlighted messages, be careful when using wildcard characters. An excessive number of highlighted messages can degrade system performance.
