- Marc Thibault asks how to activate the kill file for me in rn.
-
- I think the way to do it most efficiently is to hit Control-K while in
- a message thread in the newsgroup he wants. This will bring up his
- editor and create a new kill file or open the existing one, and he can
- add the line:
-
- /From: strnlght@netcom.com/h:j
- and then save that kill file.
-
- What that will do is cause rn to search headers (h) for my
- userid, and then junk (j) any messages it finds with that header.
-
- If he wants to kill replies to me as well, he can omit the "From:"
-
- He can also make a global kill file as above (see the rn
- documentation), instead, which will kill messages from me in any
- newsgroup, but it's inefficient since it causes rn to search every
- newsgroup it enters for those strings.
-
- I invite others who don't wish to read messages from me for whatever
- reason to do the same. This will make their lives easier in that they
- won't have to send me complaints via e-mail, which I cannot honor
- since they are counterbalanced by the "keep up the good work"
- messages.
