The best solution for E2001 is actually:
<Specific header> <Newsgroups> <Does not exist>
Because that is, as you say, rather obscure, I requested separate Account
criteria for Mail and News in in the next upgrade (EvX), which was done, so
that provides another way to do it there:
<If all criteria are met>
<News Account> <Is not> <Microsoft News Server>
<News Account> <Is not> <Other News Server>
All of them are popups - no typing or guessing needed. if you make a
criterion for each news server, that will exclude all news messages. To
exclude from a specific newsgroup, you can still do it via Specific Header.
(You can also do it for all groups that way if you want, as in E2001.)
