How to remove gross spam from view?

Bill Weylock

I guess it¹s a miracle more of this does not happen.

When it does though, are we doomed to stare at the droolingly stupid and
offensive subject line every time we check the group?

Is there some way to purge messages from the system/folder or wherever
Entourage stores them?

My other news readers make that extremely easy to do. Entourage seems to
have no capability whatever.

Say it ain¹t so?

Any hints, clues, comfort to offer?

Thanks!

is there any way to purge the directory of a newsgroup? It seems they keep
growing and growing and growing and ....

Thanks in advance.

Control-click the news server, and then select "Empty Cache" from the
contextual menu. Unfortunately there is no way to clear the message cache
for an individual newsgroup.

Messages will be deleted from the local cache when they expire from the
server.

Until then, you can delete the local cache completely for each server (but
not for individual groups) by right-clicking on the server icon and
selecting Œempty cache¹. Of course, if you do that next connection will
download all the current messages (up to the limit set in preferences)
again!

Does anyone else regard that as a problem? Why on earth should each client
have to host the entire contents of the server? I guess I could lower the
number of messages I want to download each time ....

But why on earth should I not be able to tell the server to give me only
unread messages?

Is it that my other newsreaders are really doing the same thing but pretend
to let me delete old messages by making them invisible to me?
