Click on the Help menu. In the Index, click on 'Killing Articles and
Threads', scroll to the bottom where you will find 'Custom Kill rules:
Examples for Articles'. Click on this and among the examples you will
find:

To kill crossposted articles /^Newsgroups:.*,/h

Insert this rule in the newsgroup folder's Properties. To find out how
to do this look up 'Newsgroup Properties - Kill Rules' in the Help
Index.

If you are happy to have articles that are cross-posted to two
newsgroups but not, say, three, then just add another ".*," per
newsgroup, thus: /^Newsgroups:.*,.*,/h



That's really helpful Malcolm, I would have searched for a month for
this. We are really grateful! Thanks you.
By the by have you had trouble when updating to the most recent IE and
Turnpike? We've had tons of trouble. For instance though we have the new
look IE - if we click on a link in Turnpike to access the web it brings
up the old windows layout and very very slowly! It also brings up a
message about null addresses if we then use the pulled up web page to go
to another. We end up with about 20 screens trying to get out of it!
Just a warning to others who use Turnpike and go to the latest IE and
Windows updates.

Thanks again....

Janet
