Anyone got a recommendation for a reader that will get shot of all this
non-music political garbage that is appearing in the NG?
Outlook Excess doesn't appear to have any method of blocking by NG title
strings, unless I'm missing summat.
I use Turnpike, and I've been applying the following kill rule:
/^Newsgroups:.*,.*,.*,/h
This kills any post which is cross-posted to four or more newsgroups. You can use it in any news-reading software which allows the use of regular expressions.
If you're looking to abandon OE, then Mozilla Thunderbird has a very good reputation, plus it quickly learns to identify e-mail spam as well (you teach it carefully for the first couple of weeks, then it gets them almost all right). And it's free, unlike Turnpike.
I use Thunderbird, and it's greta for email, but can't work out how to do filtering on newsgroups other than on the contents of From: and certainly haven't seen anywhere I could insert Molly's regular expression. Can anyone give me any pointers?
