I posted this back on Feb 1. Here it is again - works with Outlook Express

I found the following completely eliminates mxsmanic from usenet, along with
any responses to him. Using this, I don't need to killfile anyone else. Only
responses to polluted threads are gone.

Tools - Message Rules - News - - New:


Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the From line contains 'mxsmanic'
Mark the message as ignored


View - Current View - Customize Current View:


View - Current View - Hide Read or Ignored Messages
View - Current View - Customize Current View


Un-check 'Where the message has been read'


Change the name to 'Hide Ignored Messages'


View - Current View - Make Sure 'Hide Ignored Messages' is checked.


Hmmm, I've done all that and still replies to 'MX' get through and clog me up...
