*** Hi.

for me works it fine in ALPINE 1.10(962) with Chappa's ALL patches.

You have to setup "Reply use without confirmation" and move it at the first 
position. If you have other Roles with 'reply use with confirmation" before 
the rule "replay use without confirmation", then it always asks to use "reply 
use with confirmation" rule.

Better than To-pattern is to use Recipient (To or Cc). But if you are recipient 
because of Bcc, the patterns doesn't work, because it cannot find your mail 
address in To or Cc and Bcc is not copied in the message.

If you want to check also the emails sent you using Bcc, you can check the 
other headers, if you find your email, e.g. Delivered-To:.

If still does not work, could you open .pinerc file and copy config lines 
pattern-roles.


I hope it will help you.

Bye.

Wolf.
