Is there a way to filter out USENET messages that come from google

could perform (if Message-ID: contains google then trash) or something
like that? thanks

Tbird's scoring is, well lacking. See link below and welcome to the UIP
:)

Pan can do what you want. so can many other readers but it looks like
you want GUI so Pan is probably the best choice.

I have tried PAN before but I kept going back to Mozilla (one app does
all) I'm trying Pan now, I think filters work in reverse of what I'm used
to. I have setup a custom filter called NoGoogle based on Message-ID
(match any: message id does not contain googlegroups.com), it took care of
much of the span, and possibly other non-spam messages, however, some
posts fall through the crack, I still see some messages with
googlegroups.com in the message id!
