That would be correct, and applies to (probably) all newsreaders. If you've already gotten the headers before setting up the filter, you would have to clear and re-download. > See my other reply - I've reset the groups to make them > re-download the headers, but then it appeared impossibly slow. And that's because your filter reads parts that are only downloaded with full bodies, not just headers. So your computer is getting all those thousands of lines of content, instead of just the few in the actual "header." I thought your filter, as described, was way overkill. All you need is the Message-ID. ;-) -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
