- Know a Newsreader that can block excessive NG crossposts?
- Posted by Ken Maltby on November 5th, 2004
I sure could use one where you can set a rule to not
download or at least not display if the "To:" field has
more than X number of NGs listed. Think I'd set
mine at three max.
Anyone seen this feature? Other ideas?
Luck;

That's a good idea. I have crossposted it everywhere to see if you will get
a response.
just kidding.

Yes, I use Xnews which has that feature (and more). I also have it set to
ignore threads cross-posted to certain groups which seem to just host
flame wars, plus you can "score" posts based on various header settings.
It's also free.

One reader that can be made to do the above plus just about anything
else involving newsgroups that you might imagine is the News reader or
Gnu/emacs, called Gnus. It does take some learning though.
