I wish to kill file a specific poster on u.d-i-y. I cannot find his
email address, how can I do it please? I do now particularly wish to
name the individual as I am sure he will flame me.


Right click on the "From" field at the top of the headers and then use
"Create Filter From"

It may be that they post through some anonymiser or with a forged From
address in which case you may have to accept some collateral damage.


Blocking all anonymous remailers is a fairly easy fix for that, there
can't be many legitimate uses for them on a group like this. It also has
a side benefit of getting rid of a number of the more prolific religious
nutters who prattle on about their karsies.
