TIP:
If any is going wrong, use the scratch variable like

[seti dummy][item-field addl_category][/seti]
TEST: [scratch dummy]<BR><BR>

and then, try

[if scratch dummy =~ /accessories/]
<font face="verdana" size="2" color=white><B>Phone for the
[item-description]</B></font>
[else]
<font face="verdana" size="2" color=white><B>Related Items for the
[item-description]</B></font>
[/else]
[/if]
