I opened this one nevertheless, out of curiosity, because the message was from Tim Delaney, who knows better! I made it fairly easy to manage those few cases which escape Bayesian filters. For something I do not want to read, I merely select a small part of the message acting like a clue, then hit Alt-Ctrl-K, which pops up a small menu (author, subject, body, etc.). I select `body', and that's it. Emails are later deleted on entry. The keybinding is known to the window manager (Openbox here), which launches a small Python script to update tables for the mail fetcher (another Python script), and the mail reader (Mutt in my case). All of this is very convenient. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
