Pre-Download-Filtering

[MatthiasW]

I would wish me a possibiltiy to filter spammers or special senders to hold the downloads and the download-time shorter.

I also would find it nice, if I saw in the message-table a column with the size of the message, for I then could see, where file-embeddings are and where not.

They no longer carry attachments in the messages, only in File & Photos folders. If you want to get attachments you must get individual emails into Outlook & then you can run a facility in PG Offline to match messages to attachments (see Groups--> Group Settings--> Download Settings) and bring in these attachments into PG Offline.

Cheers,

Wilson.

Hallo Wilson,

ich bin nicht sicher, ob das stimmt. Wenn es mit einer stored procedure geht, w?rde es noch auf dem server ausgefiltert. Und es sind zahlreiche Gruppen, die bis zu 80% aus Spam bestehen. Wenn man die Datens?tze der als Spammer markierten Poster erst gar nicht mitladen w?rde, glaube, dass die Downloadzeit sogar k?rzer w?rde.
Ich kenne das z.B. vom Binaryboy f?r Newsgroups.

Gru?, Matthias

With Newsgroups you can download the header separate from the message, thereby identifying the poster. I don't think you can  download just the headers in Yahoo groups. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

Cheers,

Wilson.
