  • What's it mean??

    From Daniel70@2:250/1 to All on Thu Jan 9 09:13:17 2025
    I just went into my Message Filters screen (Tools -> Message Filters) to
    turn off/disable a filter I had put in place Server-wide.

    When I selected the Server, the screen showed that I had about a dozen
    filters applied Server-wide ....... and then there were another dozen or
    so entries which weren't 'enabled' ..... but they all had TICKs in an imaginary column right next to the 'Enabled' column.

    What are these 'Non-Enabled' entries?? Some of them seem familiar (but
    some don't) .... so could they be filters that apply to one or more
    newsgroups but not the entire Account??

    You do know that it would help if you told people what you are talking
    about-- eg what software. from the last sentence I assume this is some
    sort of news reading software, but without the least hint of which. I
    use slrn and there is nothing like what you describe. Thee are at least
    10 different newsreaders

    Yes, sorry, William, it would seem I might have meant to send the OP to
    my SeaMonkey Internet Suite group, alt.comp.software.seamonkey, which
    seemed to have disappeared from my UseNet account. Back now.

    Sorry for the noise. ;-)
