b. Wildcards are supported, but only  when they match a generic entry, or
a subset of  a generic entry. For  instance, if you have  a generic entry
for '* MINUTES',  you can subscribe to '* MINUTES',  '92* MINUTES' and so
on, but not  to '* MIN*'. The  reasons is that '* MINUTES'  have the same
access control  levels, and any new  file will inherit this.  There is no
telling what the next file which happens  to match '* MIN*' will have for
a GET code.

You  can't  suppress  the  messages.  In principle  they  should  not  be
generated when the file is sent via mail, well at least not with 1.7e.
