Can anyone help me block these MI5 messages. I've tried using
M***5
as a subject line filter in Outlook Express (filtering the root newsgroup
directory), but it doesn't do the job.


I don't pay close attention to those messages, but I seem to recall that
they all contain "MI5". Why would you use wildcards when you could simply
use "MI5", which should stop them cold?
