Does WinPoint have a kill thread or twit filter?

Correction, yes it does - I wasn't looking hard enough.

Twit Filter
-----------
- Extras -> Options -> Filters Tab
- At the side of the Import pane, click "Add"
- In the "Beschreibung"(Description) field, give the filter a name
- Click the "Kriterien" Tab
- In the "Absender"(Sender) field, enter the name of the "twit"
- Click the "Absender" checkbox
- Click the "Original" Tab
- Click the "Originalmail Loschen"(Delete original message) checkbox
- Click the "Ubernehmen" button
- Click the "OK" button

NOTE:
This deletes *ALL* new incoming mail from the "twit".

If you want to delete mail from the "twit" in a specific area, click
the "Zielarea" checkbox on the "Kriterien" Tab and then click on the
pulldown menu and select the specific area.

After setting this up, I tested the filter by rescanning(for xx days)
an echo and here's the result:

Cool eh? :-))

As for the kill thread filter, it would be set up in a similar manner
but instead of searching for the "Sender"(Absender) you would need to
search for the "Subject"(Betreff) on the "Kriterien" Tab. I haven't
actually tested this but I don't see why it shouldn't work. I'll leave
that to you but you try it at your own risk ;)

Martin

I *knew* those settings looked like they were for some sophisticated processing!

I will update the PRO CON table.

If you want to delete mail from the "twit" in a specific area, click
the "Zielarea" checkbox on the "Kriterien" Tab and then click on the pulldown menu and select the specific area.

DONE, at least for one name. When does the purge kick in?

No option to rescan here, but thanks for reporting the test results.

Yes.. Too bad we can't twit *while* reading a message. :( It's a lot of steps just to block one name.

Maybe, someday. I'm afraid to misinterpret the German and select the wrong setting.

T-bird has this ability down to a simpler art. Press K while reading the thread.

The next time the filter detects new incoming messages from the
"twit". "Mr.Twit" doesn't even make it into the messagebase :-))

Yes, that would be better.

Yup.

Yeah, well, it does look rather powerful/dangerous.

It appears to have worked.

If WinPoint maintained a LOG of the process I'd post it.

.: Seems to be working. But what is interesting is that the log does not identify the echo of the "hit". The hit is in none of the above listed echos.

OK, so far so good.

But what is interesting is that the log does not identify the echo of

Yeah, that was the case when I did my tests.

Dumb question coming up ... how do you know?

Well then, you know what I mean. :) See sample below.

I *know* which echo it because it is just one filter for a particular echo for now. BUT, as you can see, the toss does not list it in the logs.
