Put in your Applications folder, not the System folder.

I had very bad luck with filters on Netscape working with newsgroups,
although they worked fine with mail. Instead I went to Thoth as a Mac
Newsreader. Someone reported here that Thoth was no longer avilable but
regardless I think your best option is to go with a dedicated
newsreader with filtering. You might alos have problems now finding any
OS 9 ones as X's been out for three years.

If you get stuck email me and I'll help you get sorted out.
We can take this off-list.
Remove "N_O_T_T_H_I_S." to get the correct addy.

With Thoth I've found that filtering on "Message-ID" contains
"localhost" catches the scumbag with very few false positives.

I am also on a Mac but using Thoth. I know how to use filters but I
have yet to figure what to filter this imposter troll with. I have
tried using some of the path headers among other things, but I found it
was also filtering out too many legitimate posters that I did want to
read.
At the moment, I am manually filtering out each subject with words like
"penis", "cum", etc. as they arrive, but now this little pissant is
using accents over some of the letters so that they fly under the
existing filters. I can't believe that this little hemorrhoid on the
arsehole of humanity invests this much time and energy to annoy people
that he doesn't even know.
What filters are you using on him? Perhaps I can adapt them to use with
Thoth. TIA

Thanks Dave. I Googled for MT-Newswatcher and found several options. I downloaded the
Classic version from the Apple site and put it into my Systems folder. I have yet to
open it however.

O.K. Dave, I fetched it and put it into the Applications folder. It is an Adobe
Photoshop 5.5 document. I double clicked on it and it would not open. Instead, I got
a message which said in effect it was not the right kind of document. Weird. I will
restart and see what happens.

MT-NewsWatcher has great filtering ability and is free. Highly recommended.

MT Newswatcher does not go in your systems folder! IT is an
"application", that is a newsreader. Once you have it running, you can
use the filters.

Can't be a PS document. You have something else. Mt Newswatcher is
distributed as a .sit file on the Mac.
