About Kill filing skybuck
I kill filed Skybuck long ago. But with my newsreader, his posts still show if someone replys to his post..... so I don't see his post, but do see the reply, so I keep getting his nonsense. Am I doing the kill file wrong, or is this the way it's supposed to work? For what it's worth, I'm using Agent as a newsreader, but it's an old version, haven't updated in years. |

Set you kill filter to 'Ignore thread' instead of 'Delete'. -- s|b |

From your headers since you never bothered to identify "my newsreader": User-Agent: ForteAgent/7.20.32.1218 Their newsgroup is over at ---. ..-----------------------------' '--- alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent In my client (40tude Dialog), there is the option "Watch/ignore works on subthreads". My rules will flag unwanted posts (set Ignore flag), and my default view is to Hide Ignored Messages. The unwanted post gets ignored (hidden), and so do all replies to it (subthreads). https://www.forteinc.com/release/notes.php?id=40 Ignore Subthread In previous versions of Agent you could ignore an entire thread. In this case Agent would retrieve the message headers in the thread but mark them all read. Now you can select a message anywhere in a message thread and ignore that message and any messages that are part of the response thread to that message. In other words, you can now ignore subthreads , not just entire message threads. Message filters that use the Ignore option can be pinpointed to specific subthreads. That was back in version 4, so it should be available in your verion 7. Their on-site help seems rather dismal, like a bunch of videos on a few categories, and an incomplete FAQ (well, absent since I get "500 Internal Server Error - The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request", and that's been a defect for eons), and no detailed online manual, especially considering that they sell a payware product. Because of their crappy online docs, I could not delve into the settings to see which might apply against subthreads. The last free version was 3.3. Since v7 is payware, why not contact them for support at https://www.forteinc.com/contact/agent.php? They don't operate their own web-based forums. Other than contacting them, their peer community is in the mentioned newsgroup. Ask there about a setting in Agent that has an option to apply rules on subthreads. |
