Not so. I just subscribed to that newsgroup & before reading the headers, I created a filter on your email address. I then clicked on the newsgroup, loaded 500 headers & marked the others as read. A sample from my filter log: Applied filter "Phillip" to message from PhillipJones <[email protected]> - Replying to your own message in Mail at 03/22/2012 07:09:09 AM tagged Applied filter "Phillip" to message from PhillipJones <[email protected]> - Why do most people dislike filthy faggots? at 03/22/2012 07:16:35 AM tagged Applied filter "Phillip" to message from Phillip Jones <[email protected]> - (offensive title removed) at 03/22/2012 08:39:47 AM tagged Applied filter "Phillip" to message from Phillip Jones <[email protected]> - Replying to your own message in Mail at 03/22/2012 10:21:37 AM tagged Keep in mind that NG filters are applied and in effect _after_ you've created the filter. There is no ability (that I'm aware) the 'Run Now' in NG's as there is in emails. Hint re your list spammer... an easy nuke to that one is to filter on: X-Complaints-To: [email protected] (you can also send your complaints there as well) I've have this filter in place for a very long time (I delete them so I never see them) & I set it for the entire news servers rather than just the newsgroup. And some individual filters (again google/googlegroups) Example from mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey: Applied filter "Injection-Info: googlegroups.com" to message from thurman jude <thurmanjuded(snipped)> - Youngest Chicks Xxx || Younger Pron Movies || Young <snipped> Videos at 02/20/2012 04:19:35 PM deleted Applied filter "Injection-Info: googlegroups.com" to message from thurman jude <thurmanjuded(snipped)> - Nubile Underage Porn || Virgin Porn Movies || Extreme Hentai Porn at 02/20/2012 04:20:01 PM deleted Yes, I may miss some valid posts, but I prefer the quiet rather than the spam. >>> >>> When did this happen and why?
