Sorry to break it to you, but Thunderbird will NOT take care of
cross-posting. We've tried.

T3 now has a newsgroup--contains filter, allowing the exclusion of the
whacko groups.

Can you use wildcards in it? If so, you can match on something
like "*,*,*,*" to kill off anything with four or more newsgroups in the
list. Almost never do I find something here with that many newsgroups
in the cross-posting list to be anything other than trolling or flame
wars started by trolls -- so good riddance.

Enjoy,
DoN.
