Thank you, thank you, thank you. I use commercial Agent for newsgroups
and had even sent a query to their help desk on how to filter the
gmail domain. Their answer was complicated and less than useful,
essentially saying I couldn't. Not a computer guru (just a legal one),
but after reading your post I did Ctrl+K and entered @gmail.com and
all the gmail posts were marked. Bingo.

Muchas gracias,
