I'm not sure of what you write.  At least in Thunderbird, the filter can be 
solely on c.o.v, or newsgroups in general, and would not affect your inbound 
e-mail.  So, yeah, perhaps one would not get posts from a poster with a gmail 
email account, not really sure.

Guess the question is, just how important is c.o.v posts, vs, do you like all 
the spam?  I chose to avoid the spam.
