3rd posting attempt: in search of a filtering newsreader

[Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>]

Hi, I've given up on Thunderbird for newsreading (ISP's news server,
news.mozilla.org and news.gmane.org for things like Debian lists) given
that it won't support filtering on newsgroup cross-posts any time soon, but
have had trouble finding an alternative.

I'm running Debian unstable with KDE and tried pan, but experienced lock-ups
and wasn't happy with the filtering options.

At present, I'm trying knode but still seem unable to filter based on the
fact that news.gmane.org marks detected spam as cross-posted to
gmane.spam.detected (one cannot subscribe to gmane.spam.detected directly,
so one can't automatically mark gmane.spam.detected as read).

Any suggestions on getting knode to work nicely or an alternative
news-reader with good filtering properties?

Arthur.
