I'm not entirely sure, but they include Message-ID, Subject, number of lines, From, the date/time, and probably not much more. > I didn't want to use just the 'Message-ID' in my filter as > it would filter out all legitimate posts coming from Google Groups, > also. Someone recently wrote that filtering googlegroups was like throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but an eloquent reply was "the bathwater is so dirty, the only way you can find the baby is to dump the bathwater on the lawn and hope you can actually spot the baby." Implying of course that there are soooo many more spam posts than legitimate ones from googlegroups that it's worth the effort to filter first. Set GG to "mark as read" instead of "delete". > Note I've described one more problem - the slow down appears even > when the filter is disabled. Suggest you remove the filter(s) altogether and hope that solves the problem. -- -bts -Four wheels carry the body; two wheels move the soul _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
