Could just stay here block the uneducated folks out there with no manners or
common decency and talk with the folks with a proper upbringing.. Unlike the
people that were brought up in a barnyard...For those of you that aren't
familiar with blocking a sender, click on the offensive sender like the few
unmentioned people out there "you know who you are", click on message and
block sender.. that easy..

It will end up being a mental killfiter, because of the name and email
changes that are designed to circumvent your bozo-flush.

Enjoy the ride.

Not in all newsreaders. This newsreader doesn't offer that... I have to
manually set up the filter.
But, the trolls keep changing their header details so that you have to keep
blocking them.

It is also a good idea to block some subjects and words. Some newsreaders
will allow you to "block" a whole thread - but I have to manually block
subjects.

While you are at it, get an e-mail filter running. They will try e-mail
abuse, but a good filter will stop it totally.


Regards,

Peter.

I can see why... The filter he described was for Outlook Express, the exact
program you are running. Problem is, yours appears to be about 5 or more
years out of date...

Peter, if you send me a snail mail addy, I'll send IE6, the older version
with the Java. You'll have to windowsupdate to get it up to date.


It's 45.3 MB.

It was 6 years old in November.
Only in the Software industry, with companies such as MS, would something 6
years old be considered 5 years out of date.

I am still using software designed for Windows 3.1 - and my children still
use some DOS games and graphics software. It all still works fine.
In fact, my old version of CorelDraw still produces better graphics than
some modern software. Not much good for the Web, unless you convert to
bitmap first, but better for schematics than any bitmap type software.


Many CBs in use now are much older than 6 years - possibly the majority here
in the UK.


Regards,

Peter.

If you need a good e-mail filter, some people swear by
MailWasher - although I use Scan MailBox, which is still free, fast
and easy to set up.

At the moment, I am getting sent between 3 and 5 Megabytes of
junk mail every day (possibly including viruses) to one of my
mailboxes - Scan MailBox filters out every single one on the server.


Merry Christmas.

Peter.
