Filter crossposts under Thunderbird

You can't "delete" the newsgroup posts. All you can do is mark them as already read.

Kill threads with "K"

NEWSGROUPS - CONTAINS - (name of NG you wish to filter on)

Perform these actions:

DELETE

This works for me. Of course, this does not actually delete these posts from the net, it just prevents them from displaying. I have one filter set up for cross posts, and two twit filters. I routinely see 4-500 new messages when I start downloading headers, but usually end up with anywhere from 25-100 posts.

Do you filter on specific group names, or any cross posting? If on any cross posting, how do you do it?

Thanks, Bob

Here is a link to an earlier post I made here explaining it:

I believe if you want to block all xposting, just put in a comma in the contains line. I just set it up, soon find out if it works.

Good idea! I love it. Even if it doesn't work .

Please let us know.

Have you plugged the vaio laptop into a video monitor ? - e.g. maybe the LCD died or the LCD driver - but the video output on the back is a different chip or part of the same.

Might be able to pick up a nice one for a bill or two - maybe less if you don't dig into the wide Hi-def versions.

Select the newsgroup to read - start reading one and then go to tools/filters - and the news group will be there. If you select a user first - it will be a news group filter for that name.
