Ok so 'user/%/spam' only matches user/$user/spam.
Using 'user/*/spam' matches user/$user/.../spam, right?
Must I use '/' in the pattern or can/do I use '.'?
Is there some undocumented feature like a '-n' to ipurge so I
can test what this command does without erasing all my user's
messages in the 'test'?
