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.
