Almost as to be expected, on various UseNet groups, there are idiots
that *need* to be ignored and this used to be accomplished by the use of
Filters (Tools->Message Filters).
Lately, it seems to me that the Filters are not achieving anything ....
tonight I've created two new filters (in an effort to get rid of a pain
in the butt!)
Say, for example, tonight's clown was "Fred Smith <[email protected]>"
First off, for the entire UseNet server account, I created a filter
called "Smith" and set it up for "From" "contains" "Smith" (Yes, the
capital "S" was correct). Clicked "OK" and then on the "Message Filters"
screen, I clicked "Run Now" ...... and nothing happened!
So then I created a filter called "gon" and set it up for "From"
"contains" "stuffgoingon" (again, case is correct). Clicked "OK" and
then on the "Message Filters" screen, I clicked "Run Now" ...... and
nothing happened!
So then I quit the "Message Filters" screen and went to Tools->Run
Filter on Folder ..... and nothing happened!
So are Filters still usable on news groups in SeaMonkey (as shown in my
sig file??
