	That would depend upon ones news client, would it not?

	My biggest complaint with Agent is that it can only filter on "From"
and "Subject" for NNTP, but can filter on lots of headers for POP3.

	As a result, I could easily filter against posters using gmail, as
that is in their "From" header. I'm unable to filter on a
googlegroups.com message ID.
