Your obvious frustration is the only reason why I'm bothering to enter this mess. No offence meant, but you're being an ass (again, which is not to suggest you're _always_ being an ass :-). Abusing the VOLUNTEER HELP is not the way to win converts to your cause. > > Steve: a suggestion. Not everyone works exactly the same way as you. > > Perhaps have some flexibility.

It works fine for me. > email was. And procmail? Investigated it; it's line noise masquerading You don't like procmail. Great. That's no excuse for insulting it. For some of us, it's a remarkable tool; one we'd rather abandon email than do without. There are alternatives to procmail if you're that averse to it. > MTA, and point out that it has filtering built into it. Or Thunderbird, Thunderbird has Bayes filtering ... and it's apparently too difficult to use. You said it! You're forced to retrain its filters every time it makes a mistake. YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY! "Do one thing, but do it well." That means MTA + MUA + procmail + bogofilter + ..., not Thunderbird which does all/some of that marginally and is designed for Windows users who can't be bothered to learn The Unix Way. > filtering. I have no idea why people push others to procmail when it is > obvious they don't need it. You've proved *you do* in this thread. What you're doing isn't working, by your own admission. *I* need procmail. It's solved a thousand problems for me. It's allowed me to do a thousand other things I want to do. You don't like the syntax. Geez, you sound like a Lisp hater. > Bayesian filters; retraining; covered this already well before http://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/ -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
