+\r
+How about:\r
+\r
+    A message is called "excluded" if it matches at least one tag\r
+    in search.tag_exclude that does not appear explicitly in the search\r
+    terms.\r
+\r
+Or less densely:\r
+\r
+    Let "excluded tags" be the set of tags listed in search.tag_exclude,\r
+    minus any tags which appear explicitly in the search terms.\r
+    A message is an "excluded message" if it matches one or more\r
+    excluded tags.\r
