There is a lot of bandwidth in the comp.os.minix newsgroup. I have an IBM compatible machine, so I am not interested in the postings for the Atari ST or the 68xxx machines. Therefore, I set up a KILL file like this: /Subject:.*inix ST/h:j /Subject:.*ST 1\.5/h:j /Subject:.*1\.5.*ST/h:j /Subject:.*68/h:j I found a few problems; namely that the rn program isn't case sensitive when doing searches from the KILL file. For example, the line /Subject:.*1\.5.*ST/h:j killed files with the following subject lines: 1.5.5 upgrade question 1.5.5 postings This was not the desired action that I was looking for. Is there any way to make the search case sensitive? Thanks for your help; it helps to make the comp.os.minix newsgroup usable. I don't have enough time to read all of the messages otherwise. I hope that this may help others who have the same problem that I do with this newsgroup. (I'm not complaining.) Sorry to add to the bandwidth for those who are offended by this posting.
