Greetings all,

I've noticed something interesting when trying to do searches against 
specific message fields. As an example, I'm signed up to the Debian 
security advisories list, and those are all tagged with a "[SECURITY]" in 
the subject line. Getting sup to retrieve these messages, and only these 
messages, has proven to be problematic.

Specifically, it appears as if the brackets are ignored. If I run a full 
query for:

subject:"[SECURITY]"

..I also get other messages which have the word "security" in the subject 
lines. Similar searches which return identical results include:

subject: [SECURITY]
subject:[SECURITY]
subject:\[SECURITY\]
subject: \[SECURITY\]
subject:"\[SECURITY\]"

..none of which result in the desired search behavior. It's as if the 
brackets are being silently ignored.

I just wanted to ask and make sure I'm not doing something silly before 
opening a bug on this :)
