Anyone know how to use the killfile in Mozilla Thunderbird? Now I've
downloaded a 'proper' newsreader and am no longer using Google Groups
I'd like to be rid of this idiot once and for all.

menu item 'Tools' then filters. If @From' equals 'some email address'
then 'delete

This works for me. Just add for each email address you wish not to see.
I couldn't find a 'killfile' option per se.

Sorry, @From' should be 'From'. And it's 'Message filters' rather than
just filters. Must remember to read what I've just wrttiin.

For a beginner the quickest way is right click on the offender's From
address in the headers and select "create filter from" bottom ooption in
popup box and it will populate the fields for you.

Change (*) Match all of the following to Match any and then you can add
other rabid loons to the same basic filter by clicking "+".

Name the filter "Rabid Loons" or "Netkook" according to taste.

You can add extra fields and block spam injecting newservers by adding a
few extra header fields too. Minor irritation for news is that the
filters only act on new incoming headers and not on stuff already here.

Whereas filters applied to email can be used against a selected folder
to test their behaviour. PS If anyone has found a satisfactory wildcard
or regex addin for TB I would be very interested to hear of it.

It is the only thing I miss in TB relative to the venerable TurnPike.

Rather than "delete", I use "mark as read" as that maintains the thread
structure. OK, I'm talking about Claws but I vaguely remember that TB
had the same option.

Claws also can change the colour so if a thread looks overwhelmingly
red (the colour I select for the loony-tunes), I just ignore the whole
thing by clicking on the "ignore thread" button.

Hmmmm.....
That right click doesn't work for me but it seems to lead to the same
place as Metman's directions which do work.

Boringly, I have called the filter simply 'Killfile'

You can run away from the truth Col, but a race war is building again,
it'll take about 30 years to solve. Just like the 1960's to the 1980's,
the pakis and blacks were seen as unwanted foreigners and criminals, so
the economic immigrants coming into Europe are seen as today.
