Filtering everything BUT a certain header.

Ok, lets say i am looking at a newsgroup, an MP3 group for example.

How do I filter out EVERYTHING BUT headers with mp3 in the description? I don't want to download yet, just filter the view.

This has got to be easy, I just can't find it.

Thanks,
Jeff

edit menu->message filter (or ctrl+s), 'subject' 'contains' 'mp3' and press 'extract'. to reset the filter edit menu->reset filter (alt+r) or the 'reset' button if the filter dialog is still there.

Thanks for the quick reply Alex.

Next item is:
If I want to keep two file types. say mp3 AND nfo, can I combine these in one filter or do I need to set up two? Do I need to add a boolean?

mp3 and nfo

Thanks

The pipes symbol | acts as AND while you have checked the Boolean Wildmat option. Yours would be:

mp3|nfo

Extract

| is OR to be exact
