All,

I found that mozilla email supports a really useful feature: it is "ignore thread."

I know, everyone else probably knows how to use this but me....

Anyway, for those who do not, go to Message, pull down, and you find "Ignore Thread." Do this while pointing to any message in a thread to be ignored, and poof!

Does Exploder/Outhaus also have this feature? I don't know. Can you do this with Google? Again, I just don't know.

For when the 'ranting' never seems to stop, or when you see a thread with posts you just wish to ignore.

Outlook Express (which my Outlook uses as its newsreader) has "Ignore Conversations" and "Block Sender..." available from the Message menu. First time I've used it.

On a sunny day (Mon, 20 Mar 2006 17:54:47 GMT) it happened "John_H" wrote in :

All so primitive, the newsreader I wrote (Linux NewsFlex, this one:

formatting link

) has been around now for almost 8 years... it has a very powerful filter option, probably the best [one] is: " make any posting with words '...you name it' invisible. " ANY posting. So if I was to enter Xilinx in there, there would be one less FPGA manufacturer. Because it is so powerful, I usually do not bother to use the filters, as it is normally obvious (I always get headers first) what is interesting and what not. Some posts I read for amusment, some to learn. Tonight I was wondering if there was a relation between the quality of the posts [from a company] and the quality of the software a company makes. hehe OK ignore thread.
