Suppose that I don't want to read the USENET postings of a certain person, say, Peter Daniels, just for definiteness, although there are others. I looked at the info for gnus and I think I can figure out how to kill postings that are actually by Peter Daniels. However, that isn't good enough, because other people who reply to him often quote his offensive remarks and I wind up reading them anyway. So, I need some way of telling gnus to kill all articles that contain the consecutive words "Peter" and "Daniels" anywhere in the article, not just in the "From" field. Admittedly, that might not be perfect since some people quote without attribution, but it should be good enough for my purposes.
