Xnews setting

[Paul]

I want to set Xnews so that I do not even see headers beginning with the
word "re:" Some of the binary groups have more re: comments than actual
first time postings. Anyway how do I put the filter in place? TIA

Add a rule to the [binaries] section of your score.ini:

[binaries]
Score: -9999
Subject: ^re:\s

Alternatively, since all reply posts have References headers, you could
use:

[binaries]
Score: -9999
References: @

You may want to test by using a higher score before switching to -9999,
which will kill them. If you have more questions about Xnews and
filtering, best to post to news.software.readers and put [Xnews] in the
Subject.
