filtering pest(s) with agent newsreader ?
Has anyone had any luck filtering the nonsense posts using the agent newsreader? It allows one to filter on subject and author; I cannot find any other criteria to filter this/these pests out. |

And to get rid of the rubbish from the Ng just highlight the top troll message and press delete and OK, using two fingers you can delete them all in no time one after the other. :-) -- Regards Bob Hobden 17mls W. of London.UK |

Even highlighting one then scrolling down to the last one with Caps Lock held down takes ages and can bring your software to a halt. (I tried that a couple of weeks ago and it did). -- June Hughes |

Has anyone had any luck filtering the nonsense posts using the agent newsreader? It allows one to filter on subject and author; I cannot find any other criteria to filter this/these pests out. I'm using agent but filtering using Hamster, not easy to setup but it works very well. Google for it and then for a howto to set it up. -- Richard Parker If you can read this, you're in range. |

I've Mozilla Thunderbird ( inflicted on me by my son) I'm still learning to use it. The filters I've got in place are stopping some of the flooding but they've just morphed so I got the lot this time |

Anyway I hope you enjoyed Cornwall (sorry about the weather!) -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

And guess what ... they're now all under 60 lines. Can you imagine someone having so little to do with their life that they actually read what people are trying to do to block posts? -- Kay |

My problem is, I can't seem to get the knack of keeping the stuff I want and looking at Google for urg at present is a nightmare. It's OK if you can get rid of the hundred or so that come in at a time but if like me you are out for long periods of time, it is a pain. -- June Hughes |
