Kill files.

10 posts by 8 people · 14 Jan 1997 - 20 Jan 1997

I never thought I needed them. John Dougherty just proved me wrong: 98 posts in one day. Four said the exact same thing. The other 92 were just the letter "a"! Can someone please tell me how to set up a kill file on MS Internet Mail? Please, 1ra L. Johnson

I assume you meant MS Internet News, but the answer is you can't. The next revision (probably due out with IExplorer 4.0) should add killfiles as well as many other requested features. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

what about Netscape navigator 3.01 Gold?? or perhaps maybe Netscape Communicater?? -- "He who fights with monsters might take care, lest he thereby become a monster.

Netscape 3.01's News Reader doesn't support kill files either, but I haven't checked out Communicator yet (I doubt it does though). If you really want to use this feature try NewsXpress. It's free, and works nicely. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

Agent does and so does free Agent I think. ( and like the name says it's free ) -- " Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" > > I assume you meant MS Internet News, but the answer is you can't.

>Agent does and so does free Agent I think. ( and like the name says it's >free ) Agent (the registered version) definitely does. The original v1.0 of FreeAgent (the free version) did not. The newer v1.1 (I think) quite possibly does, but since I use Agent, I don't know for sure. http://www.forteinc.com (from the top of my head). Highly recommended.

Uhhh, I hope this is some kind of a joke. If not, try "man rn". Or nn. Or xrn, if you require an X interface. Or "man -k news | more" and see what shows up. --mp
'trn' supports killfiles and much more. Do a CTRL-K while in a group to edit the kill file for that group with your default editor, 'man trn' for more info. Not sure about X based readers, but I know there is a Xtrn and Knews. I have been using UNIX trn with kill files a long time before Windoze newsreaders started coming out missing this essential feature, one of the reasons I never did give up my familiar old trn newsreader. Some other non-X UNIX newsreaders are rn, nn, tin, slrn just take a look around I'm sure one of them will fit your needs. Cheers. --John -- Note: my real e-mail address is below.

Oh God, Sorry! I forgot my place and just assumed everybody uses PC's around here, which isn't a fair assumption. Oops... Stuart
