Question about kill files: 

I know how to kill a certain thread started by meaningless ravings,
for example, /Why fix the RTC (Real Time Control) for 386bsd/:j

I also know how to kill any post made by a certain person, such as
/jmonroy@netcom.com/h:j

What I need is the following mechanism: Whenever a post is found with
the from-address being jmonroy@netcom.com, then add the subject line
from the post to my kill file. That would be very efficient, since
then I don't even have to deal with the follow-ups from friendly
people, trying (in vain) to set Jesus straight.

Any takers (kill-file experts) for the above problem?

For the humor impaired: The above is not a serious question about kill
files. It is a cynical statement about the quality of some posts.

My opinion. This is not SLAC, Stanford U, or the US DoE speaking. Just me.
