Summary: clarify when regexps are case-sensitive

Initial Comment:
There are numerous bug reports about case sensitivity 
in various parts of Mailman.  Here I request general 
clarification/documentation in the web admin's 
interface of case sensitivity for the regexp variables 
accessible via the administrative interface 
(header_filter_rules, etc.).  If all regexps are 
treated the same, let's please have the default 
explained in a good place (even if it's just to say 
that Python defaults apply).  When individual variables 
differ from the default, the details should be there in 
the variable's documentation.  Example:  as I consider 
how to set up my privacy filters (header_filter_rules, 
etc.) I realize I will have to experiment to see 
whether I need to deal with upper/lowercase issues in 
my regexp values, because I can find no explanation of 
how Mailman deals with case.
