I use Agent but one _can_ avoid looking at the content of posts in
Netscape. Just don't open the article. It's pretty simple to simply
"mark as read" the offending article by looking at the subject or
author. (In the netscape version I have, hit the green diamond) Then
set your newsreader to view "unread" messages only. That is how I used
to "killfile" messages when I used Netscape.

obascii-art - just don't look in the window...
