I use _killfile_ (I registered it) and it works that way. I use the
supplied batch files to automate the process. I don't run it every
time, however. I only do it for those times when I think I will have a
lot of junk, such as in downloading "alt.comp.virus" newsgroup which has
lately contained many garbage messages posted by various internet worms.
I have found that killfile can be useful for killing ads in your mail,
too, and have it set up to catch all the ads that I foolishly allowed by
entering one of those on-line contests one time <g>.
What's nice about _killfile_ is that you can run it or not, depending on
the number of messages in your mail or usenet download. That way, if
you really want to see those garbage messages or posts, you can. Many
news and mail readers will filter every time once filtering is enabled
and you can't turn the filtering off so easily.
BTW, Tom was kind enough to give me a special version of _killfile_ that
would work with DRDOS in addition to MSDOS.
