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:

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



So drop the ":" and a space after "+" ?
