For “Subject”, you can use “Subject ▸ Body ▸ Word”, but 
there is no solution for the other one. Well, it's technically possible 
to introduce a new specifier yourself, but I think that would be 
overkill in this case.

I have an old request for supporting regular expressions when matching. 
That's probably your best hope for the future.
