| Netscape dooesn't have killfiles either and when I finally got through to
a human being to tell them how essential this is, she didn't care. I bet
nobody in the Windows space has used a real news reader and even knows
what kill files are.

| Lots of Windows-based newsreaders have killfiles. The newsreaders in
web browsers a pretty much minimal check-the-box tack-ons and not
worth serious consideration.
WinVN supports filters that allow you to mark "read" based on author
or subject (but doesn't always hide all "read" articles). Agent (the
shareware version, not Free Agent) has killfiles, as does Gravity
(another commercial reader). Look at the listings in
http://www.windows95.com/apps/news.html for some pointers.

Classic case of uninformed bigotry...a pity...
At the minimum, the following news agents support killfiles:
- Agent
- NewsXpress
- WinVN
- News Binary Extractor
Then there's a whole set of agents that provide filters (ie: only show
me "this stuff"). Too many to list...

| Judging Windows newsreaders based on Netscape or Internet Explorer
is like judging cell phone technology based on the $5 phone they
give away with the cheapest deal-du-jour...
