It's a tad more capable than that, in that it's
<object><test><string><secondarycondition>
Object := ( To: | From: | Cc: | Subject: | <specific hdr>: | <any hdr>:
Test := ( is | is not | contains | does not contain | starts with
| ends with | appears | doesn't appear)
String := <any bare string> (no regexps)
SecondaryCondition := ( ignore | <logical><object><test><string>
Logical := ( and | or | unless )
