I have installed NewsProxy to filter my newsgroups, but it does not seem to
do any filtering.  Here's all the program data that I could put together.  I
am using Windows XP, with Outlook Express. The news server name is
newsgroups.comcast.net.

Thanks for any help.

This is what is says in the Message window:

(,0)  FLT:09D4      Filter 0, header 0, header=Message-ID,
contents=*googlegroups*

This is what it says in the Status window:

Active tasks : 1

1 - Active.  Listening to port 119

The View, Dropped Articles as no listing.

This is in nfilter.dat
* drop Message-ID:*googlegroups*

By the way, why does the nfilter.dat file icon show the file as a Video CD
Movie, 1kB, yet I can only open it with Notepad.  If I double click it, I
get a message that it is not a video file.  I assocated the file with
Notepad, but it did not change the icon.
