My experience so far is that "filters" is, to be polite, fantasy.

Any ideas / suggestions as how to do it?

If it's any comfort, it doesn't work in Mozilla either. For email, yes.
For newsgroups, no. I guess newsgroups aren't high on the pecking order
these days when it comes to SW projects.

A real stand-alone newsreader is probably a lot better but I haven't
taken the plunge yet. If these bar fights here on usente continue I
guess I'll have to.

You could try pan, but if you're on windoze, it could be a PITA to
install.

FWIW, a plonk is two mouse-clicks away. Or maybe three - I don't recall,
since it's so not a big deal.

Good Luck!
