I thought that the kill file looks only at the subject line, not the entire
body of the message - I am pretty sure of this. This may be a viable solution
to those of us reading the newsgroup, but for those who get the digest
it isn't.
Bill - do you have any stats on how many people receive the digest as
opposed to the number of people who post here?

I believe the correct command would be "/happy/a:j" to get rid of anything with 'happy' in the entire body. And I believe that "/happy/h:j" will get rid of anything with 'happy' in the entire header. I may have the commands slightly wrong (I don't maintain any kill files, thought I've used them on occasion over the years), but I do know it's possible. Slow and drastic, but possible. >This may be a viable solution >to those of us reading the newsgroup, but for those who get the digest >it isn't. a) Mike Mendelsohn already offered his SED scripts for dividing up the digest. b) I'm pretty sure the 'mh' unix mail handler can explode digests into seperate chunks; don't any of the other mailers on various systems?
