One thing to note, is you can trigger filters based on
a number of header fields. But, they're treated as "custom"
items. You add the header fields you want to the menu
of fields, and this makes your selection options "richer".

If you don't do that, there might be only two useful things you
can match on by default (Subject and From). In the
following example, the poster comes in via a particular server.

Thunderbird does not have Regex or PCRE capability. Some
other news clients have stuff like that. Thunderbird uses
a fairly limited boolean style of filter condition.

(You can click "Download original image" at the top of the page,
to get the image file without annoying adverts. They've started
putting a large advert just above the intended image.)

AdBlock+ or Ghostery get rid of the banner.


What banner? - Opera.

Opera has its own adblocker. When I turned it off the banner appeared.

Yeah, I know. I don't turn it off unless a particular site which I may
want to view demands it turned off.
