HTH Thanks Anne, Sadly, I'm not feeling like being manual about this, and I guess that I just expect my mail client to work well with the spam software and do it for me. After all, my mail client has a great collection of ham and spam so if I can do something like it manually, then surely it can't be hard for the spam software to do it without me having to thing about it. bogofilter used to work well, and I'm hoping that it can once again be the great spam filter it was, fast and accurate.
