While it is kinda possible, it's not worth the hassle. And it would be pretty slow. You'd better install some spam filtering/tagging tool. I use PopFile plus rules in my Pegasus Mail and after a little trainig (of the PopFile, not myself ;-) this works very well. http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Jenda ===== [EMAIL PROTECTED] === http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ===== When it comes to wine, women and song, wizards are allowed to get drunk and croon as much as they like. -- Terry Pratchett in Sourcery -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
