Is there any way in sea monkey to filter out the Winnipeg poster?
Anyone that uses usenet will know the one I mean.
If there is a way could someone please post the solution?
I see confusions in this thread.
If you are asking if "the Winnipeg poster" can be blocked by
news.mozilla.org .
I suspect the answer is no as I don't believe the lists are moderated.
No I am asking if I can filter this poster from appearing on my computer
with seamonkey reader on usenet as the filters I set up do not work.
Either I am doing it wrong or it can not be done,it seem no use blocking
email addresses.
I was hoping for some seamonkey expert that uses usenet (news
groups)that would know the answer as they would have come across this
nuisance.
The solution I use on mass mailing lists to which I subscribe is to
filter on the email address used by the offending poster and set action
to "mark as read". I've not had cause to try it on a Usenet group over
an NTTP server. I have my view option set to "Unread".
HTH
I have seen other nuisances on some of these newsgroups, and I found
that filtering whatever is in the From: line and setting the action to
"Mark as read" and "Ignore thread" works.
But if you ignore thread do you miss all the legitimate posters ?
Yes, you would miss all the other, possible valid, responses. So set
that posters filter to "Mark as Read".
