Where is block sender in MS mail&news? How are Usenet trolls blocked?

Under tools, click message rules and create the rules there.

Good response, and I bet over half the people on the
internet don't know what a telephone booth is. I haven't
seen one in the greater Los Angeles area for decades. Here,
public phones just hang on building walls, with no
surrounding walls or door.

I have no idea how to create rules. I'm not a software writer. How is it
done?

Hi,

Message/Junk Mail/Add sender to blocked senders list

Thanks, I'll try that and see if it works as well as block sender did in OE.
I don't want to block email, just Usenet trolls.

Are you using Vista/ Vista Mail? If so I use the message/ junk E-mail,
then block sender. The problem is a LOT of the trolls here constantly
change their header to get around it. Desperate cry for attention I guess?

It's called Windows Mail. This is a Vista 32bit PC. It should work so
thanks to everyone who replied.

In Windows Mail, click on tools, next to "message rules" there is an arrow >
When you click the arrow it will give you an option to make rules for mail
and newsgroups. How to create the rules is self explanatory once you get
there, click on "new" and there are many choices to choose from, from
highlighting with color to deleting before reading. I'm not really sure if
this is what you're asking though?

You're too stupid to learn. Turn your computer
over to a ten-year-old to play with. The ten-year-old
will figure it out in five minutes without help.

I've seen one in Huntsville, Alabama, within the last year,
but it was in a museum largely devoted to local history in
the Civil War era. I have no idea if the phone in it still
works.

Do you remember when phone numbers had a name prefix, like "Capital2-4455"
The problem with the younger folks now is they don't know how to write a "Capital 2".

Well, I guess I'm the senior geezer here. My high school
girlfriend's phone number was 5239-R. My folks didn't have
a phone, but the neighbors who had phones had 4-digit
numbers, followed by a letter. I believe the letters were
some technological update to party lines on which the
operator previously gave 1 ring for party A, 2 rings for
party B, etc.

Actually the comment about writing a "Capital 2" was a joke.
We had 3 digit phone numbers that you told to the operator. She then plugged you into that number.
The advantage of that system was if you called your Mom on 280 the operator would say,
"You Mom is not there now, they all went over to Viola's, I'll ring there for you."

I join you in the "senior geezer" category. I really hated those party lines
though. :-)
