It was a word boundary issue, and using the invert-partial flag, ie ("Subject" "\\[Dog Food\\]" … t), did the trick. Still having the below problem, however. It seems to behave a little differently every time I restart gnus, sometimes telling me "invalid group" when I try to enter nnml+archive:Sent, and creating new Sent groups in my regular nnml server, sometimes working as expected. > > 2.
