On UseNet, some/several posters have a habit of cross-posting their
messages to news group that I am not in the least interested in, so
is it possible to set up a filter to "Mark as Read" any message that
is Cross-posted to particular news group??
I've had a look in the Tools->Message Filters->New screen and it
seems to allow to filter on "Subject", "From", "Date" and "Size" and
it then offers "Customize". I'm guessing, if filtering on "newsgroups
cross-posted to", it would be under this selection ..... Right??
Since you're not interested in the other group, why not just ignore
it? Read the original in the group you like, and don't even subscribe
to the other. Or am I missing something?
I'm not the OP, but I can two uses.
1. If subscribed only to group A a cross-post to group B is a
reliable indicator that post will not be of interest.
[suspect is the OP's case]
That's my situation .... except that the posters I want to get rid of
from my group A don't just post to group B but to groups C, D, E, etc.,
etc., etc. which hold no interest what-so-ever for me.
2. When subscribed to both groups A and B it would be convenient
to see the message only once. [would be useful to me]
This very useful function (Mark Cross-posts as Read) used to be
available in Mozilla Suite ... or was it as far back as Netscape suite
from which it disappeared??
By-the-By, today, as I read these responses to my OP, I do not actually
SEE my OP even though my display is set as View->Threads->Threads with
Unread!!
