The rest is fairly self-explanatory, except if you're using Thunderbird
3.x, be sure to enter a filter name (Thunderbird 2.x would pre-fill the
name with the email address). Also, Thunderbird by default only applies
filters a newsgroup at a time.

Thanks, Jorge.


Good grief - people get newsgroups via email?

I don't know where you possibly got that idea. The "From:" field of a
newsgroup message contains an email address, and by default that is what
Thunderbird filters on. It doesn't mean accessing newsgroups via email,
silly.
