I even Set to show full headers and a message shows message-id so

does not exist.
I am beginning to believe that Filters don't work on newsgroups.
Not all gg posts have a message id that ends with googlegroups.com. And
remember just because someone posts with a gmail address does not mean
they are using gg.
I also don't know why you set "Message-ID *ends* with googlegroups.com"
three times.
A common header in gg posts is X-Complaints-To: [email protected]
So try a filter like this:

I tried 3 different Not at the same time,version just to see what works.
Every combination.
despite the different combinations, I haven't found a Combination that
will make
the stuff go away. I don't want it to even show up when I open the
newsgroups.
It occurs to me that you may not have the reader set to headers-only
mode, in which case I think it will fail. My guess is that this is
because whoever wrote the code didn't understand NNTP and the difference
between the DELETE and CANCEL actions. That's which when you delete a
message it tries to do a cancel and take it off every machine on Earth,
instead of removing it from your local storage and header info. I argued
that with developers about 1998, and decided no one is so sure in their
opinion as those who ignore the facts and RFC info.
Trying to do CANCEL (a) doesn't often work, and (b) would be like delete
trying to contact all cc recipients and destroy their copy as well.
Sorry, that pisses me off 15 years later...
I never was able to get any sort of filter to work even Chris I
suggestion. But fortunately Google had a problem come up where it lost
its connection USENET for about a week. The people spreading the junk
got tired when they discovered only they were reading. I was hoping it
would stay broke for 30 years. but no such luck. I just have try
creating filters when it starts up next time.
