I believe that Agent will handle regular expressions. (I can't
test it, because I don't use a Windows box for newsreading at all.) I'm
not sure about Agent's implementation, but something like:

Newsgroups: .*,misc.survivalism
snip

I'm using a bit older version of Agent, but the last I knew
Agent can only filter news groups using "Subject:" and/or
"Author:". You can use more/others for filtering email
though.

What you proposed has been a wish for a long time,
especially the whole body of messages. There are several
newer versions of Agent available now, don't know if this
has been added yet or not.

Depending on what version of Agent you have it probably can filter on
more then just "Subject" and "Author". I believe the help files give
instructions on other items to filter and a google search will turn up
even more information.

For example, I have Agent 4.2 set to disregard any message sent to
more then two groups.
