OK, i took the plunge in "filtering" messages.

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.

Well, that might help to explain why it does not work, despite the apparent inclusion of message filters.
