1. You need "matches" rather than "contains" for a regular expression
match.
2. The newlines in $message_body are replaced by spaces (supposedly to
make it easy to search for phrases, but that was probably a bad idea).
So you probably want "\\N\\bHANDLE: .*?123\\b" for your pattern:
(a) Doubled \\ because it's inside "".
(b) \N suppresses string expansion which would interpret the following
\ characters
(c) .*? rather than .* for much improved efficiency - it will step
along one char at a time looking for 123 instead of going to the
end of the message body and stepping back one char at a time. In
fact, you would do better with \D* instead of .*
Try
if $message_body matches "\\N\\bHANDLE: [^\\dA-Z]*(123|ABC)\\b" then
save file_$1
finish
endif
Untested. Probably won't work exactly like that, but something similar
will.
