I presume you're not trying to killfile Richard Murray.

You need to get hold of !Newshound and use that as your Newsfetcher rather
than whatever's in Voyager these days.

ftp://ftp.barnet.ac.uk/pub/Acorn/newshound
and
ftp://ftp.oaktree.co.uk/pb/acorn/syslog (for !Syslog by Jon Ribbens)

You also need either !Pluto (superb but commercial)-- you may have heard
it mentioned ;-) -- or !Messenger (which is meant to be very good too and
is free). Get this from http://www.locutus.demon.co.uk

If you're using !Messenger than you also need !Newsbase

http://www.hep.umn.edu/~allan/newsbase

You set up the killfile following the instructions in Newshound. I can
send you a copy of mine as an example if necessary.

Followups set to argonet.acorn.misc (as it's an Argonet thing really).

Regards,
Luke
