I wish that for both OE and Agent....
Although I'm hesitant to kill on atkins, as sometimes the low carb
threads are useful.
There *is* a way to do the cross post killing in both readers, but I
think its more of a PITA than its worth. You have to sub to the
offending group, download all headers for that group first, then set
the reader to ignore or not download the posts that have been
crossposted to another group.
The way I set up and use both OE and Agent, I gather the posts for
each group individually when I'm ready to read them, not on a global
setting.

Silly question here - do you have to stay subscribed to the group once
you've created the rule?
I knew about being subscribed to the group in order to kill threads posted
to it, but I wasn't sure if you had to stay sub'd to the group.

which is why I don't like doing it that way - I think that is a half
assed solution to the problem.

And, it doesn't actually work unless you download the headers for the group
(sorry, not interested!). You're right: PITA.
