No. you still use a regular expression, but without "\\(..\\)" surrounding it (this was used for subexpression replacement. i.e. you have str="hello world...", then you do (string-match "\\(hello\\) world.*" str) which gives you (match-string 1) => "hello" and you can easily replace the subexpression with ""). If you still do this, it will confuse Gnus because your regular-expression is wrapped in another one, which uses \\(..\\) to find subexpressions.. C-h v gnus-list-identifiers: gnus-list-identifiers's value is nil Documentation: Regexp that matches list identifiers to be removed from subject. This can also be a list of regexps. You can customize this variable. Defined in `gnus-sum'. -- Felix Natter
