Care to guess what happens if you use rn's "k" command to kill this subject?
Go on, try it.

Well, no one would want to add it to their kill file unless someone started
some mindless bunch of followups... :-( (sorry, I know, but I couldn't
resist).

Well I put the kill command in my KILL file, and it seemed to work fine. BTW, it's been awfully quiet in this newsgroup recently.

I think what Jef is saying is, in some cryptic fashion, is that there's a bug in rn where regexps in subject lines aren't quoted. Otherwise there's no point to his posting. Thus, killing the subject "a+b" won't work. Gnews doesn't have this problem, since Emacs has a convenient regexp-quote function. ucbvax!garnet!weemba Matthew P Wiener/Brahms Gang/Berkeley CA 94720
