I've tried entering a newsgroup name instead of a domain name in the
junk mail blocking rule. It seems to delete some message threads
crossposted to that newsgroup, but not all of them.
I've also tried subscribing to microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
under Microsoft Communities instead of under my ISP's newsgroup
server, where I got it before. With this connection, I see only
messages that aren't crossposted to a newsgroup with a name not
starting with microsoft.public, so that's a major improvement.
