I'm using Hogwasher on a G5 iMac Power PC. I want to filter messages
that
are cross posted to more than 3 newsgroups. Will the following do it?

":[^:]+:[^:]+:[^:]+:"

Many thanks.

Peter

Try: "[^ ]+[^ ]+[^ ]+"

I think you need to add spaces to that expression:

"[^ ]+ [^ ]+ [^ ]+ "

There seem to be many ways of doing this. I asked the same questions
about a year and a half ago and this one worked for me:

Kill if XRef header matches the regular expression .*:.*:.*

Add another :.* to kill articles posted to 4 or more groups, etc.
