Hi again gang. Let me say that this problem is most likely me being an idiot. I am trying to write a kill filter based upon the information in the message id.

An example:

Selected posts: 1
Total parts: 2
Available parts: 2 (100%)
Parts with bodies: 0 (0%)
Size: 749 KB

Subject: ... (*/2)
Author: ...
Date: Sun, Nov 09 20:51
Partial: Total: 2; Available: all; Bodies: none.
Parts:
Part: (1/2) Message-ID: <...@news.usenext.de>
Newsgroup: ... (regular, compact binary)
Dests: All newsgroup servers (compact binary newsgroup)
Part: (2/2) Message-ID: <...@news.usenext.de>
Newsgroup: ... (regular, compact binary)
Dests: All newsgroup servers (compact binary newsgroup)

I wrote a filter to try and kill everything that ended in (or contained) "news.usenext.de" in the message ID field

Problem is its only finding about 10 posts out of the thousands in various groups.

Can anyone figure what I am doing wrong?
Oh the filter is set as follows
Predicate = "Message ID" "Contains" "news.usenext.de"

I have "listed in" kill and view filters checked.

Thanks for any advice.

did you add it in edit menu->properties->watch/kill filters as a kill filter (in the kill list control)?

i think it will work as kill filter (for newly incoming headers), but it won't work for partial messages (those in green which consist of several parts) for compact binary newsgroup destination type, because message-ids are readily available for that newsgroup type when you have the newsgroup view open.

but as a kill filter it should be fine, since all incoming headers for every part and mark it as deleted, so the message-id is readily available at the time.
