s metabol & (s sugar | s carboh)

[modified, below, as: s drink & (s sugar | s sweet)]

 ------------------------

SUMMARY: 'nested' (compound) simple filtering in Claws mail.

[Pleas note that the text below is tabulated for monospace fonts; e.g. Courier]

INTENTION:

s drink & (s sugar | s sweet)

equivalent to

s drink* AND [s sugar* NOT s sweet*]

i.e. match Subject lines containing the words drink* and sugar*, but not drink* and sweet*.

For 'reference: '

s drink & s sugar                       # 9 matches
s drink & s sweet                       # 6 matches
s drink & s sugar & s sweet             # 4 matches

Listserv suggestions (both, however, failed my filtering 'test'):

s drink & s sugar | s drink & s sweet   # 4 matches (identical to: s drink & s sugar & s sweet)

s sugar | s sweet & s drink             # 4 matches (identical to: s drink & s sugar & s sweet)

SOLUTION:

s drink & ~s sugar & s sweet            # 2 matches, containing drink* and sweet* NOT sugar*

s drink & ~s sweet & s sugar            # 5 matches, containing drink* and sugar* NOT sweet*
