There is a lot of bandwidth in the comp.os.minix newsgroup. I have an
IBM compatible machine, so I am not interested in the postings for the
Atari ST or the 68xxx machines. Therefore, I set up a KILL file like
this:
/Subject:.*inix ST/h:j
/Subject:.*ST 1\.5/h:j
/Subject:.*1\.5.*ST/h:j
/Subject:.*68/h:j
I found a few problems; namely that the rn program isn't case sensitive
when doing searches from the KILL file. For example, the line
/Subject:.*1\.5.*ST/h:j
killed files with the following subject lines:
1.5.5 upgrade question
1.5.5 postings
This was not the desired action that I was looking for.
Is there any way to make the search case sensitive? Thanks for your
help; it helps to make the comp.os.minix newsgroup usable. I don't have
enough time to read all of the messages otherwise.
I hope that this may help others who have the same problem that I do
with this newsgroup. (I'm not complaining.) Sorry to add to the
bandwidth for those who are offended by this posting.
