True. There isn't a whole lot of good content missed.
If you want, it is possible to set it up so GG posts just get flagged in
newsproxy then are marked as read in thunderbird. If nobody replies, you
don't see single spams in 'threads with unread messages' view.
nfilter.dat :
* flag: From:*my-gg-friend-01@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
flag: From:*my-gg-friend-02@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
flag:|GG| Message-ID:*googlegroups*
The above filters mark the Subject so it begins with |GG| (then use
thunderbird to filter on the subject & mark it as read). The
my-gg-friend email gets the subject flagged with an empty string
(nothing happens) & escapes the kill file. Once a match is made, it
stops executing on that message.
