She regularly killfiles her toy mousies and the catnip socks. I wonder if robert is a troll with the last name CATT?? I've seen the name before but not in long while. Suddenly pops up again talking about all the spam. What? i dont see much spam i guess if its here i killed it off (with goofy) LOL Robert Catt posts about Mooch, his porch feral. He may not post very often these days, but he's a regular. -- Joyce - Mommy loves you too my sweaty litter baby fire - Ummm what mom? - MY SWEET LITTLE BABY GIRL!! sorry honey! -- damnyouautocorrect.com |

Just highlight the message, you don't have to open it, just select it. Click Message, Create Filter from message and select the action as delete. Jill |

I see Open Message in New Tab, Open Message in New Window, Copy Message Location and Delete Message. None of those appear to be the right choice. I don't see the word Filter on the first menu at all. :-( Joy |

You'll get a drop-down menu. Scroll down to the selection Create Filter from Message. (You should already have the offensive message/poster highlighted.) Then you choose the Action - the first one is Delete Messages. Heck yes! You'll be asked if you want to run the filters right then. Why not? Choose the newsgroup, click Run. Gone! Unless they nymshift or people reply to them, you'll never see them again. Hopefully this was helpful. Jill |
