- will junk all articles which contain your address in any of the
- headers (specified by h:). The domain part of the address will
- be matched without regard to case. Also, the specific host or
- subdomain within Colorado.EDU won't matter. Obiously, you'll want to
- substitute the address (or other string) that you want to
- match.

- A control-k should fire up your editor on the relevant KILL file.
-
- By the way, you should have posted your question to
- news.newusers.questions, rather than to comp.mail.misc, since it
- obviously has nothing to do with mail. I have redirected
- followups there.
