Message Filters Question

[Kirstie]

Hi
I am trying to work out how to use message filters to do the following:
search and extract for all messages that DO NOT contain a certain word (or words)

I know how to select those that do have the word (or words) easily enough, but I want to do this inverse search and extract (to get rid of spam, etc)

for example : the messages I want all have the words Networks | Linux in the header - I want to select all the ones that don't.

TIA

theres a checkbox called "negation" in the filter editor and filter window.
it causes the filter to look for the opposite of whats in the search box.

Subject contains Dog | Cat (negation checkbox not checked)
will result in the filter grabbing everything with Dog or Cat in the subject line.


Subject contains Dog | Cat (with negation checkbox checked)
will result in the filter grabbing everything that Doesnt have Dog or Cat in the subject...

Hope that helps

Thanks !!!!!!!

that's exactly what I wanted it to do (I just had No Idea about 'negation')

amazing program, this NewsPro ...

I just wish there was a slightly better guide for it, but this forums great for a bit of brain-picking
