Those pages are not up to date. They were written by the late Blinky the Shark (longtime Usenet guy who died young a few years ago), and archived by someone else. Yes, Tbird/Seamonkey can now filter on Message ID, but could not when Blinky wrote those pages. It's quite simple to do so now. The pages are often recommended when someone complains of spam. > http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Filters > > (I dimly remember having to do *something* to get that option to set up > custom headers.
