If I 'Kill' a subject/author the message is deleted, but are all future
messages with/from the same subject/author deleted? If so how do I reset the
list? I am under the impression that using 'Kill' rather then setting up a
filter just deletes the currently listed messages but not future messages. I
set filters to delete based on subject/author as needed. I use 'Kill' to
delete some messages just to tidy up the browser, but I don't want to
permanently delete the subject/author in the future.

I think you have it right. On Hogwasher the command called Kill just
deletes currently listed messages.

And of course to delete based on subject/author you use the filter.

If find you want to get the "killed" messages back in the future then you
can reset the subscription.

Thanks patrick. The help file was not clear on the subject.
