You'd get the same results with
Digital_A="\<d(sir|igi)"
i was using the above pattern along w/ another until i got tired of
writing "(A.*B) | (B.*A)". so i converted them to "A & B" (procmail
style, of course); (i) didn't bother to update the regex.
| Digital_B="\<(rant|format|slr|camera|article|minolta|maxxum)"

I'm going to assume that you assigned a value to $subj somewhere earlier in
your rcfile.
oops, sorry. i forgot to mention that, which you guessed correctly.

When the score reaches supremum, all remaining WEIGHTED conditions are
skipped. Unweighted conditions are still tested and must pass.
so that's what i was missing!
thank you very much, david.

oh, yes, that's what i should have done.

Technically you should be able to bail without bothering to look
for $Digital_B if the first two conditions and the test for
$Digital_A all fail, so you might prefer this:
:0:
* 9876543210^0 subj ?? ()(\<ot\>|off topic|scanner|scan.+elite)
* $ 9876543210^0 B ?? ()$Digital_C
* $ -9876543210^0 ! B ?? ()$Digital_A
* $ 1^0 B ?? ()$Digital_B
In/i.minolta-junk
:0 E:
In/i.minolta
that's just swell! you da man!
:)
concept of -ve infinity hasn't gained any ground in my brain; i am
working on that. one recipe, one stupid question at a time.
