In Applescript:

tell app "YourNewsreader"
repeat with i from one to count of unread messages
if field "NNTP-Posting-Host" contains "webtv.com" and field "From"
does not contain "Jakofalltrades" then
kill message 1
end repeat
end tell

You know, people ask me why I stopped being a code-monkey. Thanks
for reminding me.

Actually, that was made up, but IIRC, it bears a strong resemblance to
Ratfor.

You still using GBASIC (or XBase)? Get with the new languages, man. For
example, try some Java with a pure Object Oriented approach. Just look at
how much easier to read and understand this "modern" code is....

public interface IMessageStrategy {

public void processMessage( Message msg ) throws MessagingException;
}

public class ReadableMessageStategy implements IMessageStrategy {

private IMessageReader _reader;

public ReadableMessageStrategy( IMessageReader reader ) {
_reader = reader;
}

public void processMessage( Message msg ) throws MessagingException {
_reader.read( msg );
}
}

public class UndesirableMessageStrategy implements IMessageStrategy {

private ITrash _trash;

public UndesirableMessageStrategy ( ITrash trash ) {
_trash = trash;
}

public void processMessage( Message msg ) throws MessagingException {
_trash.throwAway( msg );
}
}

public class NewsGroupSystem {

protected static List UNDESIRABLE_TEXT;
static {
UNDESIRABLE_TEXT = new ArrayList();
UNDESIRABLE_TEXT.add( "WEBTV" );
}

private ITrash _trash = new OSTrash();
private IMessageReader _reader = new NewsGroupReader();

protected IMessageStategy getProcessingStrategy( Message msg ){
if ( msg.getID().containsAnyTextFrom( UNDESIRABLE_TEXT ) {
return new UndesirableMessageStrategy( _trash );
}
else {
return new ReadableMessageStrategy( _reader );
}
}

public void handleMessage( Message msg ) {
try {
getProcessingStrategy( msg ).processMessage( msg );
}
catch ( MessagingException e ) {
AlertUser( e.getMessage() );
}
}
}

/rick.

Multi-threading is of questionable value here. It should be
written in microcode and executed as a single op to ensure
atomicity regardles of the language used. ;->
