5.1 What is a `kill file'? (alt.tv.tiny-toon)
If you wish to have your newsreader refrain from showing you postings
with a certain title or by a certain author, you can create a kill file
for your newsreader to reference. Let's say that you wish to `kill'
all posts made by a certain user. Using the `rn' or `trn' newsreader,
you would type a [CTRL]-K while in read mode to begin editing the kill
file, and then type the following:
/From: username@sitename.domain/h:j
This will look for articles that contain the string "From:
username@sitename.domain" in the header, junk them, and then display
the subject lines of titles that just got zapped.
For names of Subject titles, you would type something like this:
/: *Does Buster floss?/:j
/: *New Tiny Toon Wheat Cakes/:j
When finished, save the kill file in the normal manner for the editor
you're using.
For the `nn' newsreader, type a capital K when viewing the contents of
a newsgroup. nn will then ask you a few questions on whether it is a
Subject or a Name, duration of time that the posts are to be killed,
etc. Simply answer the questions accordingly.
