I don't think they're very rare. But they are certainly finite, so specifying them individually could still work. > So if we really want regexps, maybe: > > message-subscribed-address-functions > message-subscribed-address-regexps > message-subscribed-addresses Maybe. The Gnus way is typically to just do regexps, though. > I notice the code is doing regexp matches with strings pulled out of > to-address and to-list -- technically incorrect since those aren't > regexps. You didn't notice the use of regexp-quote, then. Of course, the use of it suggests that perhaps regexps should not be used. paul
