In that case, the filter to the news server instead of the individual newsgroup. Click the 'Filters for: and select the news server. Then set the filter. The filter will then apply to all newsgroups on that news server. > > I suspected it was spam that had been cross-posted, so made a > server-wide filter looking for the e-mail subject and set it to mark it > as read. > > I then ran the filter by clicking the "Run Now" button at the bottom of > the Message Filters screen, after selecting the server I had wanted that > filter to apply for.......No change. > > I then closed the "Message Filters" screen, re-selected it under Tools, > re-selected the server, "Run Now"....no change. > > With the UseNet server selected, the other two options, "Run Filers on > Folder" and "Run Filters on Message" are greyed out, so what am I doing > wrong?? > > Do server-wide filters work at all?? > Yes. However the "Run Now" button only works on email messages, not with nntp. When you set a 'new' filter for nntp it works with 'new' messages only. In order refilter all of the previous nntp messages you'll need to unsubscribe from the newsgroup & then resubscribe. When the headers are reloaded, the filters will apply. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
