You may want to write

:0:
* ^Subject: 24 Hours of Slashdot Headlines For\
|^Subject: \[ Slashdot Message \] Daily Headlines
in-slashdot_hl

instead, as the space before `\' and the space after `|'
are counted as part of the regexp.

To make things a bit more readable, I suggest using the following
form:

* ^Subject: 24 Hours of Slashdot Headlines For|\
  ^Subject: \[ Slashdot Message \] Daily Headlines

or even

* ^Subject: (24 Hours of Slashdot Headlines For|\
             \[ Slashdot Message \] Daily Headlines)
