I have finally decided to buy Agent

OE and Firefox also kill-file.

Cheers.

Whoops, that should have been Thunderbird, not Firefox.

On 2006-05-02, The Real Andy (aka Bruce) was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

I'm just wondering who and what to killfile.

The first candidate is obvious, but unfortunately you still see his unpleasantness when idiots reply to his posts.

Actually, with the exception of a couple of current threads (in which no-one has covered themselves with glory) I haven't had a need to have anyone in the kill-file since I swapped to Thunderbird and lost the OE kill-file. "Ignore Thread" has become the preferred weapon.

You're right Andy, I should know better by now. Ken's right though, Thunderbird has more than adequate filters to do the job.

I use Thunderbird, but what I want (that it doesn't seem to do) is that when I (K)ill a thread, I never see that thread again in later sessions. Is there a way to do that with T-bird?

I use it too but I think it needs a more fine-grained method of ignoring a thread. Very often a perfectly interesting thread is sidetracked into an abusive exchange of posts. I have asked Forte if they would add a method of just ignoring the sub-thread. If you agree perhaps you could ask them too.

I guessed as much. But I prefer agent as it does all the nice things i like in a news reader.

What i need is one that does all the super smart spell correction yet does not reformat whilst at the same time discarding all html and java etc!!

Thats ok, I hate those anyway!!

Done and dusted. Agent purchased. Kill filters have begun.

While you're at it, get Mailwasher as well. Filters emails at the server.
