1. (gnus-kill "Keywords" "foo") might not work because of a
   completing-read that doesn't include that field.  In
   gnus-Subject-execute-command it only allows for Number,
   Subject, From, Xref, Lines, Date, and Id (should be fixed).

2. Kill file like so:

   (gnus-kill "Subject" "foo\\|bar" "u")
   (gnus-kill "Subject" ".")
   (gnus-expunge "X")

   will un-kill all except foo or bar in subject.  (Might be a faster
   way, but this works fine.)

3. I don't think there's a way to kill on the entire header.

Good luck.  --Ed
