Can you use a matched element in one rule against another match in a second?

[Mark Hennessy <mh...@cloud9.net>]

I found a thread from almost 3 years ago in the archive with the subject "Can
you use a matched element in one rule against another match in a second ".  I
was wondering if as of 3.1.7 it was possible to take the string results of
one check and compare that against the string results of another check?  I
have been seeing lots of spam where the spammer puts the same name in both
the From: address and the Subject: line and I want to make a rule for that.

No.

There's an eval rule for that, but generally it's a bad rule iirc.
