On the rare occasions we do get an influx of trolls (usually crossposted from irrelevant groups, snip those, please!) we post recipes. They lose interest when we simply stroll away from their inflammatory agenda. And for the persistent trolls, killfiles are wonderful things. Jill Yes, they are, if you have that option. That's one of the things I miss about OE. Thunderbird doesn't seem to have it. Joy |

That's one of the things I miss about OE. Thunderbird doesn't seem to have it. Joy Of course Thunderbird offers killfile. Open the post, then click on Message, Create Filter From Message. Choose the filter criteria and select Delete as the action. You can run the message filters right after you set it up so those posts are immediately deleted from your view. Unless they start nymshifting, you won't see them again. If they nymshift, now you know what to do. Jill |
