I thought I'd got my Thunderbird set up to mark as 'read' the paranoid
idiot who spams on all NGs about MI5 persecution!

He's now starting to obfuscate the headers with spaces, single quotes
and commas - and they're slipping through.

Does anyone who uses Thunderbird, use a filter or add-on that stops the
current flood of spam from this idiot?

I've used Spamassain in the past which worked well with Mutt on Linux,
but as I use Photoshop on this machine I'm stuck with XP.

In the end, I may have to subscribe to news.individual.net, which I've
used in the past (when it was free!). Does anyone know if this server is
on top of the MI5 spammer?

Can Thunderbird use a filter like Subject: (MI5 or (M & I & 5))

Thanks - I'll give it a try, but I get the impression that the
Thunderbird filtering rules are rather simplistic, and I've not seen
reference anywhere that you can use boolean operators or regular
expressions.

Just be aware that by posting filters, the lunatic will learn how to
work around it next time.
