To killfile a user in Outlook Express, open an offending post, right click on
the offender's name in the From: line, then choose "Block Sender".
-------------------------------------------------------------

With one click you can make entire threads disappear.
It's not only possible but easy to ignore and hide an entire conversation
(thread).

Important: when viewing the message.

To ignore a message thread using Mozilla software:
  1. Select a message in the thread.
  2. Open the Message menu, and choose Ignore Thread. Mozilla Mail &
Newsgroups marks all messages in the thread as read, and new replies
posted to the thread will appear as read."

------------------------------------------------------
In Outlook Express, it's a simple two-step process:
1.  First you have to set up a view definition to hide ignored messages, then

2.  when you're scanning posts you can simply highlight the original post in
the
thread you want to ignore.
Then click on the toolbar: "Message>Ignore Conversation"
Voila!  The offending thread disappears!

Here is the way to set it up, copied directly from the Outlook Express help
file:
--------------------
To hide ignored messages so they don't clutter up your message lists, click
View,
point to Current View, and then select Hide Read or Ignored Messages.

Selecting Hide Read or Ignored Messages will hide messages you have read,
messages you have ignored, and messages you have both read and ignored.

If you want to hide ignored messages, but want to keep your read messages
visible, click Hide Read or Ignored Messages as instructed above, then click
View
(again) , point to Current View, and then select Define Views.
In the Define Views dialog box, click New.
In box 1 of the View Editor, select Where the message has been read.
In box 2, click the words Show/Hide and select Show messages.
In box 3, give this view a name (e.g., "Hide Ignored Messages") and then
click OK.
----------------
Once this is activated, when you first click on"Ignore Conversation" on the
Message Toolbar the thread just turns light grey (ignored).
But once you exit the newsgroup and return, the entire thread is completely
gone
from view unless and until you decide to change the view back to include
ignored
conversations.

Candi the simple way for me and I use Outlook Express
Click on the message that you want to delete
Then click on the Message tab at the top
When the menu comes down, click on Block Sender
Then a box will come up that says that SOandSO@idots.com Has been blocked.
Would you like to delete this message and remove all subsquent messages from
this sender.
Click Yes or No...
Presto...it is done...You will still see the replys that people send...I
usually never reply to the trolls or spammers...But some people do...
Hope this helps..
