news reader with kill file

I am using windows 7 ultimate and MS outlook express is no longer
supported. I am currently using Mozilla Thunderbird and there is no
kill file or anything comparable to it. So my question, what good free
news reader can I get that has one?

Thanks,

Thunderbird's killfile capabilities are sufficient for THIS group. You only
need to killfile a few people to make life much more pleasant. Thunderbird
seems to pretend to also kill the thread that the killed person posts into, but
it doesn't actually do it.

The one Mike mentions only does one thing. The
other one can filter by subject, etc.

I am using Thunderbird 3.0 for windows and I don't see any killfile
command. The filters seems to only work with e-mails. I looked at
Mozilla web site for a a way to kill file a person, thread or topic but
was unsuccessful. I seen that others had post the same question and
was told that there were no such command or way of doing it other than
to write some sort of script to use as an add on. If it is there I need
more help in finding it.

This command does not work for newsgroups only for e-mails,

I tried this one too, as I posted previously it only works on e-mail
accounts not newsgroups. That is why I am looking for another newsreader.

How's the skiing up there? Down here we had more rain in the past 3
months than I can ever remember. The weather however has also been out
of the ordinary too, but it is now finally looking like winter is around
the corner.

What version of Thunderbird are you using?

These commands work for me.

P.S. The season got off to a bang on Friday - 15 degrees, 30MPH wind
blowing off the lake, white out conditions. At some points it was
dumping hard enough that you got fresh tracks every run.

I'm using XP and T-bird version 2.0.0.23 (20090812)

Try this. While you have t-bird set to a news account, use
the two message filters set ups that Mike and I recommend.
I think it might be something like this:
If you set up message filters while you are in your 'inbox'
or some other sub folder, the filter will work on email, if
you are in a news account, it will work on newsgroups. Try
it, this is how it seems in my version.

As for (ob)skiing, What little is open has been good. A foot
or so of natural last week and three inches last night made
even some of the natural snow trails (Escapade, Great Bear,
Mouse Trap(far skier's right), Cascade Headwall) were skiing
very well.
