How to simply not see certain postings, with Thunderbird

[Alf P. Steinbach]

The noise level in clc++ is increasing again.

I use Thunderbird to access the newsgroup. It's not exactly clear to a
new user how to do that. So, in Windows

1. In Thunderbird right click your mail account (e.g.
your...@gmail.com), or Local Folders, and choose Settings. This
is one way to get to Thunderbird's well hidden Account Settings
dialog.

2. In the Account Actions drop down list (at bottom left in my TB)
choose Add Other Account. Up pops a dialog where the only choice
is Newsgroup Account. So why not say that up front and save a
step? Because it's obfuscated, with a view towards removal.

3. Fill in name and email address. If you want to use a non-existent
mail address, use the domain `.invalid.com`, e.g.
`mic...@invalid.com`. This is all about what will be presented in
your messages, not how you identify vis-a-vis newsgroup server.

4. In the next page you have to specify an NNTP server. I use
Eternal September. It's free but you have to register. Ideally
that should be done before this step, but you can just register
(with that server or some other) via your browser.

5. There are some more steps but they don't involve hidden things.
When you get things up and running, with access to clc++, simply
select some message that you would like to not see, and in the TB
main menu choose "Message -> Create filter from message". Voila.

Cheers & hth.,

So, if I click run on the filter, are those messages supposed to disappear?
coz that doesn't seem to happen...

what's the suggested action to use? delete?, ignore thread?

[Alf P. Steinbach]

I just let the filter delete the messages.

I'm using a newly installed Thunderbird with no filters yet for clc++ so
I have no example rule to show.


Cheers!,

You can install Thunderbird, and setup a free Eternal September Usenet
account, and then configure Thunderbird to retrieve content from the
Usenet groups you are interested in.

Using Thunderbird's filtering abilities, you can block entire threads,
people, keywords, etc.

Thank you,

Here are people who like to shit into well from what others drink.
Perhaps it is punishment but the point of it will remain forever
missing for me. Why does Rick C. Hodgin shit into drinking well?
Why does Amine Moulay Ramdane? It is proof that here exists no God.
It can't be that some God made such pointless, annoying people.

[fir]

it is becouse they are abusers and idiots (being idiots they not take intellectual points and being abusers they need force-based treatment ) -- the fault is also on google side speaking on google groups as they are known to not answering on abuse raports
(this is all ofc not about censorship and cutting down variety of attitudes and opinions but on massive bulk spam (all ramine, hodgin, elmo and yet czang are spammers/ idiot-abusers)

[Rick C. Hodgin]

Why don't you understand why I post about Jesus? It's because
you are not being saved:

http://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/1-18.htm

18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

I guide you to Jesus because I care about you. I want you to be
forgiven for your sin and be saved. I want you to be alive in
Heaven with God in His Kingdom of paradise. I want the absolute
best for your future.
