Default On OE6 - Change user blocking to ignoring ?

Ralph,

I do not directly see it and can easily imagine it doesn't even exist, but I
have to ask:

Is there a possibility to change the effect of the "blocked (newsgroup)
senders list" from outright deleting their messages to them being ignored ?

The reason I'm asking is that that way I can, if needed, always unhide them
to see what they wrote - which isn't* possible when the posts are deleted.

*well, unblocking them, deleting the involved .DBX and than revisiting
newsgroup will (reloading all messages), but its cumbersome.

I already have made a message rule to emulate the above, but that makes
maintaining of its blocklist cumbersome (having to add / remove "apply to"
entries) ...



Not that I know of. AFAIK you would have to replace the "Blocked
Senders" entries with rules to mark the message as ignored.
