Evolution, junk and usenet

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

Dunno if this is a bug or just a pain in the neck I have to deal with.

I use Evolution as my usenet reader and have decided to killfile
someone. I've assigned their postings as junk using the junk button.
However, only their postings in that thread are trashed, the rest
remain.

Is this an evolution bug or is it something I have to put up with as
it's not a bug?

TTFN

It might be that the person that you are wanting to filter has different 
addresses for different lists. One of the things that distracts me from 
the program is that it always replies from your default address. The 
other problem is it groups multi-account under a global inbox, which I 
find distracting and harder to keep thing organized.

Also, reporting on pup, it will allow packages to be pulled which will 
break existing programs. gedit and bug buddy were broken by pups 
activity. Up2date and yum refused to upgrade the below packages 
rightfully so.

gnome-panel-devel.i386 0:2.11.4-1
gnome-panel.i386 0:2.11.4-1
gnome-menus.i386 0:2.11.1.1-1
control-center.i386 1:2.11.5-1

Allowing pup to update broke gedit and bug buddy. Backtracking the 
packages restored their functionality again.

yum --exclude is not bad for such situations. :-)
