(using Entourage 2001)
Don't know if this exists in Entourage v.X, but it would be a great feature
to have "is/isn't from a newsgroup" as a criteria in Custom Views.
Some background: I have a Custom View for unread messages that excludes
messages in certain folders. I recently subscribed to the
microsoft.public.mac newsgroups, and all my unread newsgroup messages were
included in that Custom View. I wanted to exclude any newsgroup messages
from this View.
First I tried adding the following criteria:
Folder is not "name" (where I manually selected a newsgroup
using the choose folder dialog)
This didn't work for me -- all the newsgroup messages were still included.
I think it makes sense that this filter might not work, since newsgroups
aren't really "folders," but the fact that Entourage let me select the
newsgroup in the folder dialog makes it appear as though it should work.
I ended up using:
Any header does not contain "microsoft.public"
or
Specific header "Newsgroups" does not contain "microsoft.public"
...which are both logical, but not very intuitive for most users (who don't
really know what a header is, and even if they do, don't realize that
newsgroup articles each have headers, as well).
