I beg to differ.

I have Thunderbird. It has a standard killfile capability, whereby one can block messages based on sender, subject text, etc. One can set up such filtering server by server, or by newsgroup within server. One can set up multiple killfile rulesets on the same messages. Unfortunately it doesn't (seem to) support wildcard filtering, which is annoying and a shortcoming but not to the level of "pathetically useless".

What does Thunderbird's newsgroup filtering lack that makes you so harsh?
