I tend to agree that such things may be better done externally, but if you only ever manage your mail with one client on one PC, you may as well do it all with it. I see the Evolution does let you assign and adjust scores based on rules, though if I wanted to do it, I'd probably do it externally because Evolution is tediously slow at working rules over its mail, and I do use the same mail on different clients and PCs. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
