Almost as to be expected, on various UseNet groups, there are idiots that *need*

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??
I have had similar problems when establishing a new filter in a newsgroup. For
me, exiting SM completely and then restarting SM and clicking "Run Now" seems to
solve the problem. You don't mention what "Action" you selected but I use
"Delete Message"
"Mark as Read"!!
