Most of the spam on this group has attachments.

How can I set 40tude Dialogue to automatically delete messages with
attachments for this particular Newsgroup?

thanks

40tude controls are done with the srocing feature. Under the help
files/reference you will see a section on scoring. Although it doesn't
appear as if you can score a message based on attachments,
unfortunately. Maybe this is something that can be suggested for future
updates to the program?

You will need to set the score, then the control.. which in this case
would be !delete

Without being able to score messages based on attachments, it might be
possible to score the message based on the other options available, like
byte size or subject that will offer you enough control to be able to
remove the post in your news reader.

In the scoring and actions window you can write:

[alt.comp.freeware]
!delete Header "Content-Type: multipart/alternative"
!delete Header "Content-Type: multipart/mixed"
!delete Header "Content-Type: text/html"

I didn't test it, therefore to be safe I'd suggest to put the
!ignore action instead of !delete to see if it works well.

To get good hints on Dialog, post your questions on news.software.readers
with [Dialog] in the Subject.

Ciao,
