If they have a "From:" line then I'd guess that they are not text files.
In that case you'd have to add the filetype to the ModeWhen file.

I'm a little confused by this. Are you saying that you have 2 _newstest
expressions in the same ModeWhen file?

Each expression in the Match section has to have a unique name otherwise
things won't work correctly.

If the files are in specific directories on the server then you can set
up rules that match to those exact directories.
