A couple of days ago, one of my UseNet groups, alt.tv.red-dwarf,
received eight messages (Yeah!!) but when I looked at the group they
were all "Solution Manuals" messages posted by '[email protected]'
(Boo!)
I initially set up a filter just for the "From" "Contains" 'marcdemoura'
and ran the filter on that one group. No change.
The next day, when the messages still had not been filtered, I altered
the filter entry to include the full "From" "Contains"
'[email protected]' but still the messages are not being set to
'Mark as read' or 'Ignore'.
So are filters working correctly in SM 2.49.5??
I think filters do not work on newsgroup messages already downloaded.
When you set up a filter, at the bottom of that screen you can select a
particular newsgroup ("Run selected Filter(s) on") and then click the
"Run Now" button.
It has worked previously, but not now ... at least for me!! ;-(
I have had this as well, but it always seemed to be something wrong with
the filter itself. I joined mozilla.general recently and that cesspool
is unreadable without filters so I had plenty of raw data to test them
on, they work on new and existing messages.
