I recently tried to narrow to a particular subject using "/ s". The following appeared in MH-E Log:

Errors when executing: mark +pending -add -sequence header 0 0
mark: no messages match specification

and no messages appeared in the folder buffer.

The problem appears to be that the subject line was MIME-encoded. The debugger stack looks like this:

Debugger entered--entering a function:

  • mh-narrow-to-subject(("-subject" "=?utf-8?Q?Upcoming=20IMC=20Events?="))
    call-interactively(mh-narrow-to-subject nil nil)
    command-execute(mh-narrow-to-subject)

If I edit the message and replace the encoded text with the decoded plaintext, "/ s" works just fine.
