[gnu.emacs.gnus] Pattern Matching

tale@its.rpi.edu (David C Lawrence) (02/16/89)

According to the Elisp Manual, pattern matching is supposedly not
case-sensitive; however, (gnus-kill "Subject" "Test") is quite case-
sensitive and will not mark "test" (or other variants).  Why is this?

The variable case-fold-search is nil by default in Subject Mode. If
you want to ignore the case, set the variable to t in the hook
gnus-Subject-mode-hook.
