There's not too much filtering you can do with Tbird. I finally gave
up & got Agent. First 30 days are free. I'm cheap, but happily sprung
for the 30 bucks for the joy of deleting the spammers.

Give it a shot, at least for the trial period. Although they offer a
90 day trial news server sub with purchase, I've found that my ISP's
news groups are just as good.

Hi,
Would something like Newsproxy v1.2.4 work with Thunderbird (used to be
called 'Nfilter', a faq is at www.nfilter.org)? If your ISP news servers
supply the headers you want to filter on, your usenet filtering ability
might be vastly expanded over what you can do within Thunderbird itself.
Newsproxy is installed/set up to connect to your server, and then to your
news client (in this case Thunderbird). The filters you set up in news
proxy can remove a lot of the spam/crap before it's passed to Thunderbird -
then you don't have to view/bother with it.
{note: AFIK, Newsproxy isn't being developed/supported any longer. Many of
the downloads for Newsproxy are messed up a bit and require some extra
effort to install --if you google it, you'll find the workarounds.)
Getting newsproxy set up certianly wasn't trivial for me, but I did
eventually get it working with dialog 40tude.
If you like using/want to keep Thunderbird for usenet, it might be worth
investigating newsproxy.
Hope it helps
Bill
