Are you willing to post your rule? I see you post with Xnews. I may

Prefixing the rule with '~' negates it, so it matches only if there's

Thanks! XPN offers regular expressions in the filters but I've never
experimented with them. They are one liner RE's so I don't know if I
can stack Message-ID and References together. I'll experiment. If I
can't get it to work I'll ponder switching to Xnews.

I'm in no hurry to install software on my work laptop. It's why I use
XPN which is in Python. If I break my own laptop it costs me vacation
or sick leave during the time it's reimaged unless it's been well over a
year since the last maintenance reimage.
