In the Filter management box, enter the keyword(s) that you would like to filter on, select the Feed if required or leave set to 'Any of feeds', change the Action to 'Set flag' and choose the colour of flag.This filter will now run on all new headlines as they are loaded.

4. To mark a headline as being read, just click on the headline and its icon will change to a grey box. To change a headline back to the status of unread, right click on it and select 'Mark as unread'.

5. To mark all headlines in a feed as having been read, right click on the feed and select 'Mark feed read' or select Ctrl+R. All the headlines will then loose their yellow icons, to be replaced with gray boxes. Those headlines will then no longer appear in the top 'Unread headlines' folder.
