Re: Newsreader for Win2K. I have tried Forte-Agent, slrn and 40tude-Dialog

That said. Filtering on every header is News-Server dependent. It's not
controlled by the client. Xnews (and any other client with similar regex
controls) are up to the task of complete header filtering but it's up to
the server that you use to *allow* filtering on all possible headers.

If your news servers are not giving you the control that you want, then
you may have to either find a server that will deliver, or run a local
news server yourself (Hamster) to control what gets to your client.

Hello Mike, I'm not sure if i understood you right. Why should
filtering on header be news-server dependent? I assumed that the
news-client (tin/slrn/dialog/whatever) downloaded all "NEW" headers
(that is it fed the server a list of headers it had, and asked for the
new stuff - but that would take far too long?) and then filtered out
the SPAM/TROLL headers from your display.

How does a client/server determine what's "NEW" as in stuff it already
has vs stuff it has not downloaded?

Is the client passing the server a regex to filter on? So client passes
server a regex, server parses the pattern and sends the
matching/non-matching stuff to client.
