• subject headers in "junk"/"troll" folders

    in addition to "moving" all unwanted/unimportant article headers to
    the newsreader's "junk"/"troll" folders, subject headers of "moved" articles are also darkened for contrast between x-posts and generic articles as they appear in the "junk" folder, but are "blacked out"
    to eliminate distraction in the "troll" folder, and because "troll" headers are instead moved before moving x-posts, the "troll" folder
    becomes more active than the "junk" folder, as new killfile entries
    are added, x-posts moved to the "junk" folder will appear inversely
    as often, making it easier to check for new entries between routine purges, and encouraging users to killfile chronic trollfarm aliases:

    !ignore From *

    !setcolor(black;black),move(troll) From "troll001" "troll002" "troll..." >!setcolor(black;black),move(troll) From "troll121" "troll122" "troll..." >!setcolor(black;black),move(troll) From "troll241" "troll242" "troll..." >!setcolor(black;black),move(troll) From "troll361" "troll362" "troll..." >!setcolor(black;black),move(troll) From "troll481" "troll482" "troll..." >#

    #

    !setcolor(maroon;gray),move(junk) Score "-1"

    whitelisted contributors have been known to x-post, so are promoted
    before x-posts are "moved" to the "junk" folder which may be sorted
    by score, from, subject, etc., but x-posts are categorically "junk", and articles may be copied to any newsgroup of origin before purges,
    a feature especially handy when sampling headers of usenet archives
