In reply to Charlie Pridham ) who wrote this in

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
Bad move legitimate posters here and elsewhere use privacy.net to prevent spam.
Oops! Having looked at a number of troll posts I got the impression it
was largely a troll tool to hide their identity / ISP etc.
Out of curiosity how does it cut out spam? I just use my ISP to post
messages and don't get any spam because I don't put a valid email
address in the postings. Why is the extra "security" necessary?
