Don't email clients have a kill file?
At the risk of starting an off topic discussion here, but am I the only one who'd like to see more plonks and less troll feeding? I miss Usenet. Bjørn
Bjørn, aren't you the person that enjoyed with a popcorn in the first "The Ronald Show" when Ronald Guilmette spread proof-less lies with antisemitism phrases ? Yes! that's you: ---------- Sure. But there is still some popcorn left ;-) Bjørn ---------- You need to receive something much worst than a plonk. ________________________________ From: NANOG <nanog-bounces@nanog.org> on behalf of Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2020 9:36 PM To: nanog@nanog.org <nanog@nanog.org> Subject: Don't email clients have a kill file?

Thunderbird, when I used it, did not have an easy way to implement a kill file for Usenet. With email, you can use a filter, but that's still not an efficient killfile. On Thu, 14 May 2020 20:36:55 +0200 Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> wrote:

I tend to read email with EMACS/VM. It has a 'k' command which kills (marks deleted) every message with the same subject as the current message being viewed. On May 14, 2020 at 20:36 bjorn@mork.no (Bjørn Mork) wrote:

For those on Google Mail, enable keyboard shortcuts and hit 'm' to mute a thread. Cheers.
Looks cool, I'll check it out, thanks! https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/WanderLust On May 14, 2020 at 14:57 randy@psg.com (Randy Bush) wrote:

fwiw, i moved from VM to Wanderlust a dozen years ago; if i remember aright, for better imap support. both have kill thread in current messages. neither remembers the kill order for newly received msgs a la nn et alia.

Hi Bjørn, With gmail, the message drop-down menu has both a "block sender" and a "filter messages like this." Personally, I think using it on a mailing list is a mistake. If you don't want to read a thread, just don't open the thread. Let your eyes wander past the line of subject and preview text on the off chance you might want to look at it and then don't. It's not healthy to completely isolate yourself from being aware of contrary opinion. That lets nasty surprises sneak up on you.
