Urgent - Forte agent help needed
Blimey
It's been a while since I posted here, this newsgroup used to be reasonably free of trolls and sad *******s but clearly a couple of people are using their computer without telling their mummy. Can I block people using agent so I don't have to see their bandwidth draining drivel? If so how, as I'm not a newsreader expert. Cheers |

Cheers I don't know about your version of Agent, but on v1.93 you go to Message Filters Kill filter, where you can select Author or Subject, and set various values. If you go to Group Default Properties Filters, you can set the default parameters. TF |

My version of Agent doesn't support that, but there is an Agent newsgroup that's pretty good, you could try the alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent HTH TF |
