Yes simply go to Tools, message rules, news, and create a filter to block
messages with certain key words like watches, hand bags, etc.

Download and install a copy of NewsProxy, a.k.a. Nfilter, from
http://www.nfilter.org and configure the filters to drop all posts coming from
GoogleGroups, except for those from a few selected regulars here.

Filter rules to do exactly that are as follows:

rec.woodworking flag: from:charliediy|htroberts|dalemartin
rec.woodworking flag: from:[Jj]akofalltrades|fredfighter
* drop message-id:googlegroups

With OE the following two "News" rules catch 99.9% of it for me:

Got to TOOLS/MESSAGE RULES/NEWS on the menu bar and create two rukes

Apply this rule after the message arrives

Where the From line contains 'watches' or '.cn' or 'china' or
'googlemail.com' or 'watchec.com' or 'chinese' or 'cheap' or 'sina.com'
Delete it

Apply this rule after the message arrives

Where the Subject line contains 'Fake' or 'watches' or 'shoes' or 'china' or
'tiffany' or 'cartier' or 'rolex' or 'POLO' or 'wholesale' or '****' or
'boobs' or 'penis' or 'viagra' or 'watch' or 'jeans' or 'sneaker'

Delete it

Thanks a lot, this is out of control, I can only hope that NO ONE is buying
ANYTHING from these time wasters.

I don't filter and I can tell you not to get too excited, because the
spam count was down significantly today.

Also, you may want to watch your CAPS LOCK because I almost deleted
your message without reading it (lpoking like spam bacause of the
caps) but noticed your name and recoginized you as one of the newer (I
think) regulars.

Not that my reading your message is of much importance.

Since you're asking, I guess your filter is working well.
