Newsgroup

Does anyone know of a Newsgroup viewer program that allows you to block
all posts by a certain name or email address so you don't see them.  I
am not sure if there is such thing. I am using Netscape right now.  I do
not appreciate some of this groups posts.  If I could filter them out it
would be great.  If there is no such thing, I am afraid that I will have
to abandon this use group do to repulsive posting.  Thanks for all the
help though.

Pretty much everyone that deserves the name newsreader...

I like (X)emacs with gnus, but for someone who is quite used to Wind~1
that might be a little bit too much of a culture-shock...

The same goes for tin and slrn, which should be available for Wind~1 as
well, although not quite as "badly" as with gnus.

As far as native Wind~1-apps go, I'd suggest Forte agent. OE can do it
as well, but I'd rather bite off my tongue than actually recommending
it. That piece of shit has more flaws than even your average
MS-"program", which basically means: It *is* one huge flaw.

You might also want to look into "hamster" and some related programs
(korrnews is among them). Hamster is a small local newserver for Wind~1
that appears to have a few *very* nice features.

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...
