how to delete messages?

How do I delete messages on this newsgroup from Outlook Express? Am working
on a Mac and OE 5. Surely there's better than unsubscribing and
resubscribing? Sorry, I know this is OT a bit but my ISP can't help and that
leaves you, (I know, it's sad but there it is...

A bit OT? You reckon? What does the built-in help say? What about MS

Do this bit once:
========================
Tools->Rules->News

Click "New"
Enter a name for the rule, e.g. "Delete"

"If" = "All messages"
"Then" = "Do not show article"
Uncheck the "Enabled" checkbox at the bottom (This is important!)
========================

Then do this:
========================
To get rid of one or more messages, select them and press Control+click to
get the pop-up menu. Choose Apply Rule->Delete

You should just be able to use "Ctrl--D" and that will dump the message
"over the side" as we used to say in the Navy!!!!! It works for me!!

No, I mean delete. Gone from the computer. To be ex messages without any
kind of trace, to be history, to be dead, expired, lost. To be unrecoverable
anywhere off line, to be as dead as the parrot that John Cleese returned to
the pet shop where he bought it. As to why I want this, I want to lighten
the load on my machine, my OE app, its database...
