Killfile/Smart Article Selection

A killfile is a feature provided by some newsreaders that will hide articles containing certain strings in their subject (e.g., Make Money Fast), or that are larger than a certain number of lines (like a binary file posted on a cooking newsgroup).

WinVN employs this feature but also extends it to select articles based on the same criteria for decoding, saving to a file, etc. Some uses might include automatically selecting all of the parts of an FAQ when it's posted, or selecting a sound file for decoding.
