For simple deletions where you have a definite pattern to search for I think there's nothing better than procmail. I keep my deletions recipies in a separate file called rc.kills that I source as follows in my $HOME/.procmailrc : INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.kills Then, in rc.kills I have recipies such as the following: :0 * ^From.*scooter store /dev/null :0 * ^Subject.*power scooter /dev/null You can put almost anything into your search criteria. Consult man for procmail, but also for procmailex to see examples of how to use procmail. It's really a wonderful tool. Janina John J.
