Could someone PLEASE post the methods of generating and maintaining local (user) and global (systemwide) kill files. My home system is one of the small sites and there are lots of things I would like to kill. (such as the MES postings and the talk.religion.bible postings) Please post since I am sure that there are many others who could use this info as well. Thanks in advance. -Jo Poplawski ...!rutgers!rochester!moscom!telesci!fantasci!jep ...!uunet!vsedev!tlxprs!fantasci!jep

I have been trying to use kill files with no success. I hope this is the right news group to ask the following questions: 1 - In what format keywords are put into a kill file? 2 - What can you kill? In other words, is it just the subject line the kill program is looking at or is it the entire contents of the articles. 3 - Is uppercase characters differentiated? I will appreciate e-mail responses. Thanks. -=- Bulent Abali Ohio State Univ., Dept.of Electrical Eng. 2015 Neil Av. Columbus, Ohio 43210 abali@baloo.eng.ohio-state.edu
