In article , Uncle Marvo says...
In reply to Charlie Pridham ) who wrote this in
, I, Marvo, say :
I am trying this out, its good at getting rid of unwanted stuff but
as I do not use a newsreader much (just this ng) I am finding it
difficult to work out the settings, I have managed to get my
signature put on but have noticed that it seems to want to chop the
person I am responding to signature off! anyone one know why?
Because it's meant to?
OE does that when you install OEQuoteFix, so I'm assuming that it's the
status quo.
I think you are right. I've had a look in the settings and there are no
options to do otherwise. Though it is possible to include the name of
the sender at the top of article by adding %n before "says..."
There are one or two things I don't like about this newsreader, such as
the spell checker being a bit buggy, but overall it is far better than
OE.
I've managed to eliminate most of the rubbish posted to the group with a
few rules, which I'm still refining but essentially include:
1. Delete all messages cross-posted to more than 2 groups.
2. Delete all posts from Privacy.net
3. Delete all posts containing various offensive words / phrases in the
body of the message.
4. Use the scoring feature to create a negative score for any messages
with the above words anywhere in a posting (subject, body, from,
header), then use another rule to delete all posts with a negative
score.
Once set, it all works automatically and smoothly.
