Description John Hardin 2009-03-26 08:15:35 UTC 
With 3.2.x, multiline rawbody matches now work. The documentation still says rawbody rules match line-by-line.
Comment 1 Matt Kettler 2009-03-26 19:33:23 UTC 
"he 'raw body' of a message is the raw data inside all textual parts. The text will be decoded from base64 or quoted-printable encoding, but HTML tags and line breaks will still be present. The pattern will be applied line-by-line."

Agreed. That last sentence isn't true. And AFAIK, it's never been true. Rawbody has always been "in chunks".

Perhaps this is what they were trying to say:

"Multiline expressions will need to be used to match strings that are broken by line breaks."
