How can I limit attachment keyword check to whole words?

I work in the field of computer vision, which means that many commonly used tools (e.g. OpenCV) or conferences (eg. ICCV or CVPR) include the letters "CV", which activates the pop-up asking me if I forgot to include an attachment. I don't want to remove the term CV from the attachment keywords, but rather I am wondering if it is possible to enforce a whole word constraint on the matching (i.e. if I just mention "CV" on its own, I'd like that to give me the warning, but anything that includes the letters "CV" as part of a larger expression shouldn't give me the warning).

Refinements to the keyword logic have been suggested over the years:

but I think your best option with the current version is to simply delete CV from the keyword list, since it seems you use ICCV, OpenCV etc. in messages far more often. Try to use 'resume' instead of CV in your correspondence!

Although I do use OpenCV, ICCV, etc. more often in correspondence, using resume instead of CV is not really an option, since I work in academia where CV is the standard term.
