I don't read the non-default character sets, so some foreign
language stuff shows up as question marks.
The comp.soft-sys.stat.spss group is bombarded this week
with spam, a dozen or so a day. (I still check the group, though
real posts are rare.
I read some previous posts here and thought I had a solution by
marking READ (so I don't see it) everything with ?'s in the Subject,
which all of these have.
Checking on posts thus marked READ, I see that EVERY post was
marked read. (The additional posts are also spam, but in English
selling something.)
Here is the start of one post.
Subject:{/?/?/?/?}
I thought that the / would quote the special character.
I didn't know if that should detect 4 consecutive or 4 in all.
Apparently it detects every post
What did I miss?
