I don't see a tab that shows existing filters for a particular group.
I am guessing it is a hot key but I don't have a list of them.

Here is how to show existing filters for a particular group.

Start by first selecting the particular group (say alt.fan.mozilla) and
then going to "Window >> Open Usenet Filters". This is the window which
shows existing Usenet filters.

You can make this window show only existing filters for a particular
group by adjusting the options on this window at "Filter >> Select View".


1. If you want the Usenet Filters window to show only filters whose
scope is the selected group (say alt.fan.mozilla), but not global
filters which may also affect the selected group, then set the
options at "Filter >> Select View" like so:

----- Scope -----
[ ] Global (filters that apply to all groups)
[ ] All group-specific filters
[x] Group alt.fan.mozilla


2. If you want the Usenet Filters window to show filters which affect
the selected group (say alt.fan.mozilla), that is both filters
whose scope is the selected group and global filters, then set
the options at "Filter >> Select View" like so:

----- Scope -----
[x] Global (filters that apply to all groups)
[ ] All group-specific filters
[x] Group alt.fan.mozilla


When you are done, remember to set the options back to like below so
that next time the Usenet Filters window will not hide any of your
Usenet filters.

----- Scope -----
[x] Global (filters that apply to all groups)
[x] All group-specific filters
[ ] Group alt.fan.mozilla

I'm mostly amazed you're still answering Q&A from v 1.91.

That's kinda like answering questions on the very first release of Win
XP (both 2nd / 3rd Q 2002)

I'm amazed the OP didn't install v1.93. Same size and memory
requirements but with bug fixes.

There are various other groups for that.

I got this 20 years ago and as long as it works, I will keep it going.
I have 8 but I really only use it for binaries and they are getting
harder to find.

I vaguely remember one of the earlier Agents phoned home with
your username and serial number. Un-surprisingly can't find any info
on that on Google(all I can find now is ads), but it was a "scandal"
at the time.
I believe v1.93 corrected that massive privacy breach.

Changes in the second digit after the decimal usually mean bug fixes
without new feature changes

Me, too. I've had my 1.91 for probably over 20 years, as well.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it and 1.91 works just fine.

Or, another way to say it, to each their own <g>.
