   >You can use a PCRE in one condition and plain text in another:   
   >  Subject contains reg. expr. "(mp)?gravity"   
   >  And   
   >  From contains "nfn03862@naples.net"   
   >In the above conditions, the first string is used as a regular expression   
   >(contains the phrase "reg. expr.") but the second is plain text.   
   >Adding Conditions   
   >Select a condition and Click "Add Condition" (this step is important).   
   >If you are adding multiple conditions, combine them with AND/OR/NOT like   
   >this:   
   >  Subject contains "Gravity"   
   >  And   
   >     (   
   >     From contains "frag"   
   >     Or   
   >     From contains "nfn03862"   
   >     )   
   >Use parentheses for grouping. When your condition is complete, it must be   
   >"well formed"   
   >This means that it must make sense to Gravity. If you forgot the closing   
   >parenthesis in the example above, you will see an error message "Bad   
   >condition expression" You must correct such problems before leaving the   
   >dialog.   
   >"Less Than" Conditions   
   >There is no "Less than" condition if you work with the these rule conditions.   
   > * posted more than xx days ago   
   > * has more than xx lines   
   > * score is more than xx   
   >The solution is to invert the logic with the NOT logical operator in the   
   >logic like this:   
   >  Not   
   >  Lines > 300   
   >If you are grouping one of these with other conditions, you might need   
   >parentheses like this:   
   >  (   
   >  Not   
   >  Lines > 300   
   >  )   
   >Insert From ..   
   >This command button will copy conditions from an existing rule, which can   
   >save time for complex rules that are similar to other rules.   
   >%s  (a percent sign and lower case 's')   
   >If you enter the string '%s' in the text box, Gravity will prompt you for a   
   >text string when the rule is activated. The user text will be substituted in   
   >the rule condition. If '%s' is entered as a Regular expression, the user   
   >input will be used as a PCRE. See Rules with User Input for more.   
   >If you use %s in a BODY condition, and run the rule MANUALLY while online,   
   >Gravity will try to fetch the articles, including bodies. The bodies are not   
   >saved after the rule finishes. If you are off-line, Gravity may just tag the   
   >articles for download.   
   >The rule condition types are:   
   >1.  The article's subject field does/does not contain a certain phrase.   
   >2.  The article's author field does/does not contain a certain phrase.   
   >3.  Any of the article's header fields does/does not contain a certain phrase.   
   >4.  The article's body does/does not contain a certain phrase.   
   >5.  The article is in reply to an earlier article that I wrote.   
   >    Note that this only works if Gravity is set to generate the message-ID   
   >    (Server - Properties - Posting) and the server or proxy server does not   
   >    change the MID.   
   >6.  The article has more than x number of lines (Use NOT for less than).   
   >7.  The article is cross-posted to more than X groups.   
   >    ?? Is this true ? - I dont think so - TB When using this condition, make   
   >    sure you enable the retrieval of cross-posting information (Server -   
   >    Properties - Operation - Include cross-post data when retrieving headers.   
   >8.  The article was posted more than x days ago. (Use NOT for less than)   
   >9.  The article score is more than x (Use NOT for less than).   
   >10. The article is in the "Watch" list or "Ignore" list. This means the   
   >    article subject matches  the Watch or Ignore Lists, viewed with View -   
   >    Other Windows   
   >11. The article is marked as Watched, Ignored, Read, Important, Tagged for   
   >    downloading, etc.   
   >    Watch and Ignore may seem redundant with #10. "Article marked as" means   
   >    the article is flagged with the  Watched  graphic or Ignored graphic icon.   
   >    Number 10 means the article subject is in one of the Lists. Normally (but   
   >    not always) these find the same.
