Did I post this already?
I thought I posted a link to a page that has a bunch of cute pictures
of dogs and cats being good buddies. But when I came back to RPCA an hour or so later, I couldn't find the post. .... I rechecked, and I found that my post, and two responses, had been killfiled for some reason. I do have an item in my filter that contains the words "Cats and" in the subject line for RPCA. (My post was titled "Cats and dogs - BFFS".) Maybe that killed my post? I don't understand that, though. I thought there had to be an exact match for a post to be killed via the filter. Any suggestions as to how these posts ended up killed? -- Joyce Loneliness is comforted by the closeness and touch of fur to fur, skin to skin, or -- skin to fur. -- Paul Gallico |

Any suggestions as to how these posts ended up killed? I don't think that you can specify a subject for "cats and" and not have it catch *everything* that has those two words, in that order. Was there a specific type of post you were trying to avoid? |

No, the one I had in the killfile *included* the words "Cats and", but it was a much longer phrase. My subject (Cats and dogs - BFFs) also had "Cats and", so I thought maybe my newsreader counted that as a match, although most of the two lines don't match. I don't usually killfile a *type* of post - I just kill specific threads. -- Joyce What business is it of the state how consenting adults choose to pair off, share expenses and eventually stop having sex with each other? -- Bill Maher |

Yes, I saw your reply and Evelyn's once I set my newsreader to show all posts, including killed posts and already read posts. -- Joyce What business is it of the state how consenting adults choose to pair off, share expenses and eventually stop having sex with each other? -- Bill Maher |

Yes, it's likely to be as you thought. You created a rule that "cats and" + rpca group should be killed and you successfully killfiled yourself. Remove the rule unless you want to miss all posts that have the title "cats and (anything)" Tweed |
