Does anyone know how I can set up a Gmail filter that looks
specifically for the string "[EVALUATION]" in the subject line? If I
type in the literal string "[EVALUATION]", it's doing a
case-insensitive search and ignoring the enclosing braces such that,
for example, a subject line like "Someone needs a psychiatric
evaluation" is a hit.
I have the feeling that a solution to this problem will benefit many
ruby-talk readers.

Seems you can't, but why would you possibly need to filter that?
just kidding.

You might be able to get away with searching for "EVALUATION" in the
subject and the "from" address if it is a mailing list.

Ugh. Well, thanks for pointing me to that information anyways, Bill.

I don't think that will cut it, although I may just be missing your point.
What I'd like to say is, "immediately archive all of the messages with
a subject line containing the exact string '[EVALUATION]'".
I don't want to filter out just messages from a certain someone, I
want to filter out all of them (i.e. I don't want to see *any* of the
messages in those threads). So I don't think I want to specify
anything in the sender (or "From:") part of the filter. I could make
it a little more targeted by filtering only those messages sent *to*
the ruby-talk list, but it's still going to flag any message with a
subject line that contains the word "evaluation", whether it's spelled
in all uppercase letters or not.
Bleh.
