SLRN type filtering by overlength subject lines

With respect to the current inappropriate multi-post attack on this
newsgroup, using SLRN type filtering, it is easy to filter out posts
containing overlength subject lines. Add the following to your score
file:

% killfile if subject line is longer than a n characters
% set end to 1 plus your preference, e.g. 50, 80, 100 characters
Sco: -9999
Subject= .{81}

Details on moving to SLRN newsreaders like Xnews are available at:
