In reading comp.binaries.ibm.pc, I occasionally stumble upon a series of chunks of a piece of software I don't want: is there any way to issue a kill command that will mark all of the chunks as read? there's just enough variation in the subject lines so that they don't match. I clipped a sample from c.b.i.p: Subject: v09i005: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 01/10) Subject: v09i006: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 02/10) Subject: v09i007: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 03/10) Subject: v09i008: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 04/10) Subject: v09i009: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 05/10) Subject: v09i010: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 06/10) Subject: v09i011: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 07/10) Subject: v09i012: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 08/10) Subject: v09i013: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 09/10) Subject: v09i014: zipcode data for the USA in .dbf format (part 10/10) Thanks in advance.
