DougC said:So, anyway--I am using Thunderbird as a newsgroup reader, and I tried to
set up some filters, because there's some posters that I don't want to
have to scroll through.

But my [censored] ain't working, what should I set Thunderbird to do to the
thread? I tried "delete message" but over a couple days it's become
obvious that this setting doesn't work. I'm trying "ignore message" now,
but if that still leaves the bothersome posts there, that's no help either.
If you're picking up through a News service you can't delete the
message as it isn't yours to delete, sitting as it does on an
external server. Rather, have the group set to view unread only
(View | Threads | Unread), and have it mark things you don't want
as having being read.
