My Outlook Express seems to only filter on sender and subject. I can't get rid of all the people who insist on perpetrating these huge threads that usually have nothing to do with OOBEs. Is there some clever way to do this? No offense Michael, but your threads are off-topic and I don't wish to see them anymore.

What I would like would be to filter on newsgroup name (set to one in all threads), but adding a newsgroup line to my filter file simply declares an new file for group specific sender-subject filtering.

Unfortunately these threads are all crossposted and are on topic (sort of) in the other groups. > Is there some clever way to do this?

At least I have killfiled him, so that reduces the volume somewhat. -- Neil Franklin, Nerd, Geek, Unix Wizzard and Guru, Hacker, Mystic neil@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ Computer: toy that speeds work, so you have more time to play with it
