In advising the OP to download their Yahoo messages and then do the
filtering in SeaMonkey, have you tried it??
I, sort of, recall reading somewhere here-abouts, that filters are not
working, for some reason, and, by-the-by, last night I set up two new
filters on my Usenet account but, tonight, they are not doing anything.
I can't think of how filters could even work in News accounts only Mail.
e.g, you can't "delete" posts or mark them "Junk" like you can with
messages so a filter couldn't do that either.
Can you give some examples?

Hmmm . . . I use filters on News groups, and they work just fine. Note
that my setting is View>Threads>Threads With Unread, so for postings
that I find to be abusive, my filter (based on the sender) is set to
"Mark As Read" and they don't show up. And yes, Delete is another choice
and it works when tested, although I don't actually use it.
True, some Mail settings like Junk aren't available for News groups.
HTH.

Geoff, in News Groups you can set filters to e.g. Mark as Read, Copy
Message to, Ignore Thread (there are about 10-12 possible filters). And
you can apply the filters to individual groups on a server or to ever
group on the server.
Larry, have the worked in the last week or so?? I'm sure I've read
somewhere that they are not working, maybe since the release of SM 2.21,
so your old filters may still work (I don't know either way for sure),
but on my new filters they are not working!
