:Correct. Not currently available, but hopefully implemented sometime in the
:future. There is a bug filed on a "Killfile" feature:
:http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10097
Workaround on win32: use NewsProxy - http://www.nfilter.org/ - a generic
killfiling frontend, released under the GPL.
(Dunno if the author would be willing to dual-licence with MPL, thus
opening the possibility of having the code included in Mozilla [possibly
via a filtering API for modularity and to avoid forking]; wouldn't hurt to
ask.)
