sure.. regexp and all. yay.  but what do these match on?
i suppose you may be looking at the "filename=foobar.pdf".
however, some are "foo.pdf", some are "BAR.PDF".
and some PDFs do not end in ".pdf" at all. :-/

still.. even if people use silly filenames..
it would be a lot better matching on those.

i tried matching this with "~b 'filename=.*pdf'".
but this unfortunately does not seem to work at all. :-(
