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.
