How did you do that?

We've loaned a pc to a grand daughter (21) who's living with us temporarily,
so that she can do college work. We've asked her not to use web-based mail
but suspect that she is doing because her boy-friend says it's OK. Since our
pcs are networked to 'hers' we really don't want her to do it.

I'd appreciate your dvice.

Mary

I should have added that I set up a zetnet account for her so there's no
need for anything else.

I use 40tude dialog. It's very easy to set rules in that prog.
There's a separate drop-down menu option that lists all scoring and plonk
rules.

[*]
!markread Message-ID googlegroups

The first line applies the rule to *all* groups.
The second line instructs the prog to mark as read any messages downloaded
that have a message ID containg googlegroups.

I normally have my news reader set only to show new (unread) posts, so any
new post that has a message ID containing googlegroups is already marked as
read so I don't see it.

Rules can be applied to individual NGs. Hence

[alt.sewing]
!delete From "Gwyneð Bennet"

will apply whatever rule follows only to alt.sewing, deleting rather than
marking as read any posts from that source. I'm sure regulars will
recollect the nature of that posters contributions! There are a few others
that rule applies to!

also under alt.sewing I have another rule

-10 Xpost %>3

this applies a negative score to articles posted to more than three groups.
Dialog has black and white rules, like deleting or marking read, but it can
also assign positive or negative scores, so if you feel like playing you
can apply selective filtering depending on your criteria.

Sewing, a positive score, ladies problems, a negative score! I jest! :-)

Negative scores mark articles as read, so I didn't see the OP by Red Dog,
nor Beverly's initial response to it, only your post about not continuing
the xposting.

Having said all of that, it's so long since I used OE that I just can't
remember how to apply filters in that prog. Time for you move on to a
decent news reader! :-)

Yes - by the time I was Naomi's age I was married to my first husband. Last
week we celebrated 48 years together :-)

But her boy-friend is 35 and thinks he knows even more than he did when he
was teenager ... and of course that grandparents know nothing.

We have ten, four girls, six boys, ranging from 22 years to 22 months. The
novelty wears off ... :-)
