I've been trying to establish filters for the newsgroups but I can't
seem to get them working at all. I have been trying to filter out all
that porn crap (for starters) by looking for certain words in the
subject and deleting the messages. Ain't happnin. I have enabled the
filter log several times but it keeps disabling itself too. The
option to run filters now is greyed out and of course doesn't work.

I am using the latest Thunderbird having just upgraded to 2.0.0.9.
The filters didn't work with 2.0.0.6 either. The Mozilla help and
forums haven't been much help either. Several things regarding mail,
but nothing for News.

Thanks,

OK, I think I got the filters working. I had to remove the news
account, re-add it, re-configure the filters, and then re-download
everything. Nice not to have all that crap showing up now. Thanks for
the help.

Try using news.aioe.org for an account. Free and reasonably fast.
