Do the message filters in SeaMonkey work in newsgroups? (they should because the program lets you set them up). There is an annoying amount of spam in the Mozilla support groups I check from time to time (SM, FF & TB), and the filters I set up seem to do absolutely nothing. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

What are you filtering on? If you set a filter for the spammer's email address, that won't work because he keeps changing them. The ol' Mark One Eyeball works for me.

Saving Posts Freezes(?) SM 2.26 Mac.
I've seen this a few time now...if I'm trying to save a NG post to an on-disk Folder by drag and drop, SM Mail seemingly freezes, but I can still use the Browser, click around Mail, mark a NG Read, etc. All this while a *blue* "spinning pizza-wheel of death" is spinning. And whassup with the *blue* pizza wheel vice the OX X default rainbow one? Is this another instance of SM stepping on a standard OS X interface activity? No other app on my machine alters the wait-wheel...not one! Neither of these were happening prior to SM 2.26 Mac. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I've concluded that I've been using the filters incorrectly, but on the other hand, using them "correctly" seems hardly worth the effort. In an ideal implementation, the filter would automatically dispose of the offending message for all subgroups (such as Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and Firefox) once the user has downloaded the message from server to hard drive. As the saying goes, "If we can send a man to the moon" What I find myself having to do, which I assume is normal, is go to each of the three groups and run the filter from the dropdown menu.

Here are a few of mine that mostly do the trick (for me): name="Undisclosed recipients:;" enabled="yes" type="20" action="Delete" condition="OR (\"to\",contains,Undisclosed recipients:;)" name="Injection-info: googlegroups.com" enabled="yes" type="20" action="Delete" condition="AND (\"injection-info\",contains,googlegroups.com)" name="Organization: http://groups.google.com"; enabled="yes" type="20" action="Delete" condition="AND (\"organization\",contains,groups.google.com)" name="googlemail.com" enabled="yes" type="20" action="Delete" condition="OR (from,contains,googlemail.com)" Granted you'll filter out some valid posts from googlegroups - several of the devs use GG, but I figure that if they can't use nntp or list then it doesn't bother me to filter them out as well. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
