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??
Did you select "Match all of the following", "Match any of the
following", or "Match all messages"?
I think you may need to use "Choose folder" to select the folder(s) the
messages are in and use "Run now", until you restart SeaMonkey.
After that the filter will kick in for all newsgroups in that account.
