to the best of my memory the headers HW: BOC: et al.   work only if
there is a space between the colon and the heading. So   HW: tour going ahead
would be filtered out for BOC folk but   HW:tour going ahead
would not.

The HW: bit and the BOC: bit also have to be in capitals.   Small
letters don't work.   I also understood that the Re: would be ignored
assuming it was added automatically by the headers as part of the reply
so that    Re: HW: tour abandoned
should also be filtered out - but I could be misremembering there
