For vanilla rn, and probably other newsreaders which understand the KILL file
format, edit the killfile and and make the following change:

before:

/: *blathering SLORC guy/:j

after:

/: *blathering SLORC guy/h:j
                         ^

Note the addition of the 'h' after the string to search on; it means search
the entire header for the string (and the :j means junk the article if the
string is found).  If you use an 'a' instead of an 'h', it'll search the
whole article for the string.
