While there might be some solutions for Outlook Express, the newsreader that
you are using, they aren't very good for using features integral to OE
(i.e., OE's own filters). You can't have it test on the Message-ID header.
My recollection was that I used something called NewsProxy (aka nFilter)
which let you define expressions to test on, for example, the MID header.
It might be time to start hunting around for alternate newsreaders, test a
few, see which ones you like, and use a better newsreader with a more robust
rules set that lets you define better filters.

"top dogs" ? Where can I find these people? Anyway, if M$ sends rmgroup
messages to remove those newsgroups I'm fairly sure that any
self-respecting news admin will honour these. The question is: will M$
send rmgroup messages? (I think not...)
