Unison Icon

Automatically processing posts with rules

In Unison, you can use "rules" to filter and sort incoming posts, or to reorganize posts you've already received.

Unison can automatically highlight or kill (delete) posts based on the message's sender, subject, date, size, and newsgroup.

  1. Choose Preferences from the Unison menu and click Rules.
  2. Click the Add Rule button and type a descriptive name for the rule.
  3. Set the conditions necessary for the rule to apply to a post.
  4. Choose actions to perform on posts that meet the conditions. To specify multiple criteria and actions, click the Add (+) button.

If you have multiple rules, they're applied in the order in which they appear in the Rules list.

To apply rules to posts in groups you've already opened, select the posts and choose Apply Rules from the Message menu.
