Default How did you guys get all these OT conspiracy $!@$%!! types here?

"Dallas" wrote in message
ink.net...
Actually, I have been picking the messages in OE and selecting "Ignore
Conversation", but it doesn't seem to work. Next time I check in there
they
are again.

I'm I missing something?


Are they still marked? The other step you need to do is set up a view that
hides messages that are ignored (this doesn't happen by default).

That's the other deficiency in the OE...the plain old "Ignore" function
doesn't actually mark the messages as read. You need to set up a message
rule for that. I just leave the threads hidden by the view, and then catch
up the newsgroup later.

I readily agree that OE doesn't have the robust message filtering of some
other readers, but it's certainly sufficient for keeping the crap out of
view (which is all I really require of my message filtering ).
