The problem here is that the original poster seems to think the 
string "[Duo]" refers  to a machine, when in fact it refers to a 
mailing list.  Articles marked [Duo] aren't *about* Duos, they *come 
from* the Duolist and could be about anything at all.

I assume the original poster wants to filter out messages that apply 
just to one or the other model.  Unfortunately, that isn't something 
list software can easily do.  It is, however, something that mail 
clients can probably do--instead of trying to filter on a string in 
the subject line, filter on a string in the body instead.  That said, 
a well-chosen subject line IS always better than a generic one.
