I read an article in this newsgroup asking how to kill news
articles sent from a particular person.
I thought that the reply stated that you would put the following
in your KILL file: (for ex., to kill all articles posted from dcox)
/: from:.*dcox/h:j
It doesn't seem to work. Am I missing an extra space or something?
Thanks.

The reason that subjects start with a colon when inserted with K is that they my be either "Subject:" or "Subject: Re:" forms, and you want to look at the part after the last colon. It's a regular expression, and if you want to be really safe you can add a ^ before the from.
