Steve, I know what you mean. I've found a solution in a shell script
that's run by my cron process after UUCP and UUXQT have done their thing
in the middle of the night. (Since this is a single-user 7300, it's not
like censorship or anything...)

	Try:

cd /usr/spool/news/comp/sys/atari/st		(get to ST notes storage)
rm `grep -il "covert" *` 			(remove all covert notes)

	Put that into an executable shell script (remove.sh?, say, with the
execute bit set), then add a crontab entry to call it once after the night's
downloads are done. Be sure to allow plenty of time for UUXQT to unpack all
the
individual notes.

	The "-i" option makes it ignore upper/lower case, and the "-l"
option makes it generate a list of filenames, which in turn are fed to rm.
	Note the symbols around the expression are not single quotes...

	-- Hope this helps, Dave Small / Gadgets by Small, Ink.

p.s. This note should only be read with tongue firmly planted in cheek.
