You have to point NewsProxy to pull the messages from your real NNTP
(news) server and then set your news reader to use "localhost" for the
news server.

You're welcome, as always. Glad to help.
BTW... I can't take *all* the credit for this, or even the larger portion of
it. That credit belongs to the guy(s) that wrote the Nfilter program. All I
did was develop the filter file. And even some of that, Robert Bonomi deserves
the credit for, not me.

Ahh, yes. Missed that one this time around. Thanks for catching that.
I really ought to see how hard it would be to set that as the default...

Did you install and configure it? Or just download it?

Uhhh.. yes. That's the whole point of the filter file.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Install Nfilter.
2. Edit Nfilter's configuration information to match the newsserver name or IP
address that you're presently using in your current news client.
3. Change the configuration of your news client to use 127.0.0.1 (or
localhost) as the newsserver. That instructs your news client to look at
Nfilter, instead of the newsserver, for the newsgroups.
4. Save the reply you got from my autoresponder in the directory that Nfilter
installed into (typically "C:\Program Files\NewsProxy") as NFILTER.DAT
(overwriting the existing copy of that file).
5. Stop and restart both Nfilter and your news client.
All should be well. Post again (or email me privately -- the address is in the
filter file you got from the autoresponder) if you're still having trouble.

Can you point me at whatever the "super diddle" is that eliminates

Thanks for your time and energy in making the filter file.
Finally got it working after reading BobS' comment.

Okay, lets assume I am dumb.
What do you do with this? I downloaded nfilter, but it does nothing. I
sent the email and got one back. Do I somehow use the reply with nfilter?
