So you want to match an address in the To field where the domain is
'newsguy.com' and the user is anyone except 'reader', correct?

Will this work?:

  header To_Newsguy_Not_Reader To =~ /(?<!reader)[EMAIL PROTECTED]/i
  describe mesg to newsguy recipient but not reader
  score To_Newsguy_Not_Reader 6

where (?<! ... ) is a zero-width negative look-behind assertion, a
somewhat obscure bit of perl arcana found with 'perldoc perlre', which
is written in some kind of crazy moon language.
