Sounds easy enough, but if you have a structure like this then you'll 
still need to work some magic:

dir
   subdir
     subdir1
       xxx
       yyy
     subdir1a
       qqq
     subdir1b
     subdir1c
       xxx
       yyy
   subdir2
   subdir3
   subdir4
   subdir5

E.g., normally subdir1b would match ^dir/subdir and everything below, 
but with the $ at the end that falls apart.  Without it and you have 
dir/subdir1 and dir/subdir1a matching twice.


^dir/subdir/subdir1a    SendMail
^dir/subdir/subdir1    SendMail
^dir/subdir        SendMail
^dir            SendMail

would become something like this:

^dir/subdir/subdir1a[/.+]?$    SendMail
^dir/subdir/subdir1[/.+]?$    SendMail
^dir/subdir[^subdir1a|subdir1]  SendMail
^dir[^subdir]            SendMail

Forgive me if my expressions are wrong, I'm still fairly new to using them.
