It works fine for me on XP, OS X and Linux. What's your particular
problem?

What happened here was,,,,,
I used Thunderbird to create a couple filters based on sender
addresses--but one of those addresses posted after I had the filter in
place, and the post still showed up.
So then I tried creating a filter of my own email, and I sent a message
on that. And THAT post didn't show up for me..... but then I realized
that I did not know if Thunderbird posted that message to the NG but
wasn't showing it to me, or if it deleted the message before it was even
sent to the newsgroup server.....
The Thunderbird filters set to "delete message" by default, but that
only works for messages downloaded to the user's own PC--either regular
email, or setting a newsgroup to "work offline". And I don't want to
have to download all the messages.
The way you have to do this in Thunderbird it seems (to avoid seeing
messages you don't want to see) is to 1) set the newsgroup client to
"ignore read messages", and then 2) set a filter to k offending
messages as read... but now I can't figure out how to get Thunderbird to
ignore read messages.

I think there is a special Usenet group set up just for the purpose of
testing.
