[following-up myself, while last dusts of 2004 settle..]

actually, I realized that :re, :extended, :perl seem to work nomore in
4.0; I tried a single 'modify body' line:

 modify body :perl ["[[:blank:]]*X-Anomy.*"] ""

but anubis crashes on it - I get

 > [11139] Reading user configuration file /home/prel/.anubisrc...
 [11139] pcre_compile() failed at offset 4: unknown POSIX class name.
 > [10975] Child [11139] finished. Terminated on signal 11. 0 clients left.

yet the pcre sounds correct - at least:

 perl -p -e 's/[[:blank:]]*X-Anomy.*//'

does what's expected. I tried '["\s*X-Anomy.*"]' as well, this time anubis 
doesn't crash, but does nothing - ie doesn't mangle lines like above perl
in-line.

Also, now both

  modify body :extended ["[[:blank:]]*X-Anomy.*"] ""
  modify body :basic ["[[:blank:]]*X-Anomy.*"] ""

do nothing, lines that should be removed are left untouched. Yet, again, 
sed(1) works as due with such re.

Here's the relevant trace:

 ... .anubisrc:68: Section RULE
 ... .anubisrc:122: MODIFY BODY [[[:blank:]]*X-Anomy.*] [NULL]

What am I missing?

anubis --show-config-options
REGEX
PCRE
OPENSSL
LIBWRAP
NLS
