I even Set to show full headers and a message shows message-id so and so
does not exist.
I am beginning to believe that Filters don't work on newsgroups.
Not all gg posts have a message id that ends with googlegroups.com. And
remember just because someone posts with a gmail address does not mean
they are using gg.
I also don't know why you set "Message-ID *ends* with googlegroups.com"
three times.
A common header in gg posts is X-Complaints-To: groups-ab...@google.com
So try a filter like this:

I tried 3 different Not at the same time,version just to see what works.
Every combination.
despite the different combinations, I haven't found a Combination that will make
the stuff go away. I don't want it to even show up when I open the newsgroups.
It occurs to me that you may not have the reader set to headers-only mode, in
which case I think it will fail. My guess is that this is because whoever wrote
the code didn't understand NNTP and the difference between the DELETE and CANCEL
actions. That's which when you delete a message it tries to do a cancel and take
it off every machine on Earth, instead of removing it from your local storage
and header info. I argued that with developers about 1998, and decided no one is
so sure in their opinion as those who ignore the facts and RFC info.
Trying to do CANCEL (a) doesn't often work, and (b) would be like delete trying
to contact all cc recipients and destroy their copy as well. Sorry, that pisses
me off 15 years later...
