I would love to see this feature (Filter on IP address) to filter *ssholes that spam groups in order to make browsing a newsgroup impossible.
(And yes, I mean alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.0-day in particular
)

ip address is not known and it is not practical to download all article headers during header download.
when downloading bodies ip address can be filtered out with header kill filter in properties->articles.

That is not very pratical either
Anyway, if someday you would find yourself to implement this for some reason, I am sure it would induce many new customers
