I've read a specific newsgroup Comp.sys.mac.apps
I've setup some filters for certain individual and subjects that

One more or less said "don't Bother me".
The other did remove the messages like the should have.
So decided to create filters to mark them read.
They don't work. Turns out that SeaMonkey sometime or another has
removed the ability to filter news Groups.
When did this happen and why? Now spam and offensive material I don't
want to read I can no longer mark as read. So I have to go through
each
group each topic, subtopic and mark read before I can enjoy reading
the
group.
To say I am steamed would be minimizing the way feel now. All I
want to
do as mark them as read as soon as I go so I don't have to deal it.
Have you tried "deleting" them? Filters work fine for me in ngs, but I
choose to delete them in the filter.

This is what I get :

afaik, NS/SM has never had NG filters up to 1119.
I don't know about 2+.
At any rate, I have never been able to find or use
such for NG's. fyi- cannot del NG postings...
at least not easily and possibly not legally.
I have always had message filters for Newsgroups, and I think you've
misunderstood about how "Delete Messages" is accomplished.
We can't do it in the newsgroups, but we can set our NG message
*filters* to delete them, so that we never have to see them. It is so
nice. :)

I'm not interested in deleting I mistyped. I just don't want to read the stuff.
SM has a bizarre understanding of "delete" IMHO. The delete operation (from
local availability) seem confused with "cancel," or remove from all servers
everywhere. And the messge filter DELETE action will do what you want, remove it
from your index and header pane.

taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
