I have finally decided to buy Agent

OE and Firefox also kill-file.

Cheers.

Ken

Whoops, that should have been Thunderbird, not Firefox.

Ken

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.

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.
