Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / December 2007General Question About Newgroups/NewsWatcher
According to the Cmd + Cntl + Click on Subjects trick, I can see that both my ISP hosts apparently do not receive or pass on most header info (eg.NNTP-Posting-Host) on to my computer. Yet when I "Show Details," the numbers for that particular header and many others appear to be there. Regardless, the filters for those headers don't work. Is there anyway to set up filters for headers that only appear when showing details?

The only way to accomplish what you want is to use something like an offline reader that automatically fetches everything.

Or find a news server that allows the newsreader to fetch those particular headers without downloading the entire message. Which is probably easier said than done.

Seem like it's time to Google "overview headers". SignatureWhile its true that "you can't fix stupid", apparently you can package it up and sell it. -- fnorgby on TMBO > In article > <droleary.usenet-787BF0.08150914122007@sn-ip.vsrv-sjc.supernews.net>, [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > So it's a server configuration thing?

For example, here is what my server supports, as reported in the Unison transcript window: (12)-> LIST OVERVIEW.FMT 215 list follows Subject: From: Date: Message-ID: References: Bytes: Lines: Xref:full You can't filter on what the server isn't configured to send (and, annoyingly, Unison won't even let you filter on all available headers).

Thanks.

Well, no, because the send you the message after they've processed it. If you want to filter on the headers section at your end, you'd have to download _all_ the messages you want and then grep through them. Or run your own little nntp server -- some people do that -- or use an "offline" reader, about which I know nought. SignatureW.

Ah, yes, another reason why I love MacSOUP.
