Hope it works for you. I find that sometimes the filter doesn't "take"
on my first try and lets a few messages slip through. I like that I can
either remove the messages or just mark them "read." On another
newsgroup, there are a couple of people I don't care to read unless an
interesting discussion ensues. Then I might want to go back to see what
started it.
