Message Filter case insensitive help

Question

Need help with a simple Message Filter that skips virus scanning if a message has "MonkeyTails" in the Subject.  This should work with "monkeytails" and or "MONKEYTAILS" but it does not, it only works with "MonkeyTails".  What am I doing wrong?  I thought the (?i) makes it case insensitve
Skip_VirusCheck:
if (subject == "(?i)MonkeyTails")
skip-viruscheck();

Hi Greg,
The initial syntax that you have provided worked perfectly for me.
This is my filter -
Num Active Valid Name
  1   Y      Y   regex_filter_3
regex_filter_3: if subject == "(?i)MonkeyTails" {
                    quarantine("Policy");
This is the mail logs -

May be give it a try again ?
Also, let us know what version are you on.
