Re: [Pan-users] Pan rules/filters

[mick]

I have been using -9999 to Ignore the article, I then never see it.
In the scoring rule dialog box I see Increase, Decrease, Set, Watch and
Ignore.
Is Ignore doing the same as Delete?

The message count is the same here when using Ignore.  That also happens on
my other newsreader on my windows pc (MesNews), so I guess the reader is
totalling the number of available headers even though they are not being
(downloaded?) displayed.

Gawd, I completelty forgot about that entire section!  Thanks Duncan, that
has sorted the problem.  I set to delete on -9999 since I can be 100% sure
that the filter is correct based on long experience with the group in
question and the subject lines used by the spammer.

The only thing left is the message count doesn't update until I leave the
group and re-enter it.  That's likely a bug, or just a feature not yet
implemented :-)
