Now to catch up with the weather - did someone mention cold while I was
away ;-)


Consensus appeared to be Mozilla Thunderbird which I tried. Although not
as flexible as Turnpike with regards to filtering it is a good second so
have continued to use it. It is stable and does what it says on the side
of the can.


I will add my vote for Thunderbird too. And just to point out that
although its filtering is not full regex like TP it is able to add
custom header fields and apply global kill rules across all newsgroups
(something which TP notably lacked). I do miss regex and would urge any
TB users to request it to move the regex match feature up the wishlist.
