Thanks. I was looking in the gigantic tools/options for a switch.

I'd still be happy to pay for it. So Agent is still sort of alive. The 30-day trial has expired but it keeps working, so I'll use the auth code if it stops.

For instance, any thread started by a scammer/spammer should be able to be deleted if it has responders from our normal group so I don't have to see useless (to me) responses show up. I'm not sure how much Agent is being worked on. boB

[...]I *do* wish people would refrain from reacting to these spammers. If they'd only ignore them, the S/N of this group would improve vastly. Jeroen Bellemam

The only real support is the Usenet group mentioned earlier. There are threads on developing just such regex rules there. Joe Gwinn Joe Gwinn
