news:fop515- If you're on Windows you can also use Forte's Agent. IMO this
is the
best newsreader available. Its also free for download, so you can see if
you like it. A freshly downloaded copy runs as Free Agent and doesn't
have a killfile. If you like it you license it. This unlocks the
killfile capability also lets you use it for your mail, though IMO its
only average as a mail agent. Its killfile is great: very flexible, you
can set filters to vanish after they are no longer needed and best yet,
you can set a filter and immediately use it to clean up the newsgroup.




And if you happen to be using Windows and Outlook Express (not too uncommon
a situation), you can highlight a message from the loon, click on "Message"
and select "Block Sender".
