sure enough! i've been testing xananews mostly in windows 7, but
didn't check this filter feature in windows 11 until moments ago
and there it is, the "add" button ... for some reason it doesn't
appear under windows 7; on windows 11, i didn't see any new file
after successfully adding "google.com" under message-id with not
to download; but i'll definitely test this on windows 11 more in
the next few days . . . but thank you for the helpful correction
