Default Rules and ignoring certain posts

WYSIWYG. Delete the "flag" rule and use Blocked Sender instead (or just
ignore 'em).

The rules don't give me a choice on that. What I get is "Mark the message
as
watched or ignored" if it satisfies the rules.

If you "flagged" the poster via Blocked
Senders, no thread should be marked as Ignored.


I think I had trouble with Blocked Senders not doing what I wanted before
(maybe deleting messages altogether? - which is a bit drastic and
irreversible), which is why I use rules to set them to ignore.

I'm getting the feeling that I can't do what I want.

Why doesn't my rule work?

Thanks for the links. They'll be useful, but I don't see an explanation of
"Stop processing more rules" there.
