Offhand, I think one problem is (& I refer to TB here) that filtering on usenet doesn't offer as full a set of headers as for email, and certainly no 'custom' header option. Furthermore, in neither case can you use REs. Very irritating trying to filter out "MI5 persecution" (or was that "M.I-5 perse cution"?) from news. I prefer pegasus for email, although a rethink may be in order soon as this only runs on windows. TB has the snag that while you can disable html rendering (a must for email), this applies globally, so for example the BBC's RSS news feed becomes useless. Pegasus has its own very secure html renderer. -- http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
