| | Blocking newsgroup messages Under Outlook Express, it was very easy to block newsgroup messages from a particular poster. Once you blocked the poster, all messages from that person would disappear as well as all subsequent postings. Under Vista mail, I don't seem to be able to do that. Vista has provisions for blocking email messages, but not newsgroup postings. How do I permanently block newsgroup messages from a particular sender the way I use to be able to do in Outlook Express? |

| | Re: Blocking newsgroup messages Rick, Message Junk E-Mail Add Sender to blocked senders list The 'remove from current display' feature has been deleted, but they will not show up next time. Of course that doesn't help with the most egregious offenders who change their e-mail address constantly. Grrrrrr.

| | Re: Blocking newsgroup messages It works for newsgroup posters also. Right-click on a message, and select Junk E-mail, Add sender to blocked sender list It won't remove existing messages from that sender, though.

How do I > permanently block newsgroup messages from a particular sender the way I > use to be able to do in Outlook Express? Create Rule From Message. Click on Delete It and then OK. The messages from that sender for which you have already downloaded the header won't disappear, but no more will be downloaded. |
