It's called the delete key. Use a mail client that supports it like Outlook
Express.

It's also called, "filters." I've got Agent configured to delete anything with
MI-5 (or the latest derivatives) in the Subject line. Didn't even *know* the
stuff had flared up again, until Maxwell's post.

Outlook Express has a "Block Sender" under the Message tool. Works for me.
I find that I get rid of some frustration with their constant blather by
hitting the "Block Sender".

The problem is the MI5 idiot is now modifying the subject and from lines
to beat the filters. My filters only seem to get about half his crap.
There are times when I'd like to get him with a winchester...

I hadn't seen his stuff for a while, and a week or so ago his revamped Subject
did break through. I'm doing "MI5" plus two separate filters with an apostrophe
before and after the center letter. Looking at the variations in Google Groups,
there should still be something coming through due to other variations he's
using. Wonder if there might be some filtering at one of the backbone sites.

BTW, on the subject of filtering, I'll be posting a summary of recent Zoom
events in the next couple of weeks or so. Add "ZZZ" to your subject line
filter, if you aren't interested.

I use google groups but don't see any way to filter topics out? How is
it done?

A poster on rec.crafts.metalworking suggeste the following filter for
Agent users:

subject: {M[',-`. ]I[',-`. ]5[',-`. ]P}

Haven't tried it yet myself but someong else on the group says it
works well.

If he was taken out with a pattern 1914 Enfield, then it would be an
allied effort. My Martini wouldn't reach out an touch him from here
either... :o(

I justed added it to my MI5 twit filter. Hopefully it will work.

I was hoping that the rec.crafts.metalworking group would be a good
place to pick up info but it seems to be 90% off topic political crap.
I gave up on it after a couple weeks.

I simply filtered out anything that contains M, I, and 5. Should work
okay as long as no one tries to post anything important about Mig 15s.

I set up a filter on capital M<any character>capital I, etc. It'll let
the MiGs fly through. :}

It's really a secret plot by MI5 to get you using MiG 15s.

Actually, according to my Diverse Unified Conspiracy Theory ©2007 you
are are one of them. DUCT© is derived from all the known conspiracy
theories and can be simply stated as
a: everyone is out to get me
b: just because I am paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me
c: buy stock in Alcoa®, makers of the finest grades of aluminum foil
for hats
d: anyone who says he doesn't believe in DUCT© is obviously involved
in the cover up.

I don't know how you do the "any character" in filters? I'm using Outlook
Express.

Does OE support regular expressions?

In this case, MT-NewsWatcher defines "." as "any single character", and
".*" means "one or more characters", and "^" means beginning of the line
of text, in this case the subject line, for example:

Kill if subject matches the regular expression "^M.I.5"

If I were to use ".*" instead of ".", come to think of it, the filter
would also kill anything with MiG-15 or MiG 15 at the beginning of the
subject line. It works now as is, so I'll worry about the loon if he
gets more fanciful later on.

If that's true, it's not canonical regular expressions. "*"
(asterisk) should mean "0 to many of the preceding character". "+"
means "1 to many of the preceding character".

It does, in spite of me.

> "+" means "1 to many of the preceding character".

Rather than depend on my rapidly-aging memory...

Description Symbol Meaning
asterisk * match zero or more times
plus sign + match one or more times
question mark ? match zero or one time
backslash \ escape the following character
period . match any one character
caret ^ negate a match in [], or start of line
square brackets character class
parentheses grouping
dollar sign $ end of line
ampersand & and
or sign | or


Which explains my reluctance to do this sort of thing without the
reference close to hand.

Been waiting for one last packet of papers to arrive from the court. It's not
critical, just for a little more background information.

Here's a hint: All three of Zoom's known Florida lawsuits have been dismissed,
including his suit against Sun-N-Fun. HOW it happened is the fun part.

C'mon, Ron... don't let us wait too long..
