What happened here was,,,,, I used Thunderbird to create a couple filters based on sender addresses--but one of those addresses posted after I had the filter in place, and the post still showed up. So then I tried creating a filter of my own email, and I sent a message on that. And THAT post didn't show up for me..... but then I realized that I did not know if Thunderbird posted that message to the NG but wasn't showing it to me, or if it deleted the message before it was even sent to the newsgroup server..... The Thunderbird filters set to "delete message" by default, but that only works for messages downloaded to the user's own PC--either regular email, or setting a newsgroup to "work offline". And I don't want to have to download all the messages. The way you have to do this in Thunderbird it seems (to avoid seeing messages you don't want to see) is to 1) set the newsgroup client to "ignore read messages", and then 2) set a filter to mark offending messages as read... but now I can't figure out how to get Thunderbird to ignore read messages. ~ |

Tools | Message Filters should drop you to a dialog, set the Filters for: dropdown at alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent (I suppose you could go for the whole news server instead if you want) and then select New... Filter name is your choice, then set "From: contains" and some aspect of the sender unique to them, which can be [part of] the actual email address or plain text that shows up in the From: field (I have also added a "Subject contains" to get rid of some of the bitching about him, with "Match any of the following" selected so it trips on any of the rules). Under that, Perform these actions: should be set at "Mark As Read" HTH, Pete. -- Peter Clinch Medical Physics IT Officer Tel 44 1382 660111 ext. 33637 Univ. of Dundee, Ninewells Hospital Fax 44 1382 640177 Dundee DD1 9SY Scotland UK net http://www.dundee.ac.uk/~pjclinch/ |

Just delete any messages which offend day by day as they appear. How do folks get to be so god damn stupid - that is the only relevant question here! Here is one for you - Peter Clinch of Dundee, Scotland is a freaking idiot of the first rank. There! Now all the world knows what I think of him and he does not because he has been stupid enough to kill-file me. I mean, just how stupid can you get? Even Jim McNamara is not stupid enough to ever kill-file anyone. And Tom Sherman, Mr. ARBR himself, never did that either. No, it takes a Peter Clinch of Dundee, Scotland for the ultimate in stupidity. By the way, he is a Medical Physics IT Officer too, just in case you needed to know that!
