I use Eudora, which has an effective filter, even in the "Light" [a.k.a. cheapskate] version. I know also that Hotmail has one, though I don't really use the filters very much on either one, other than for known junk mail cues and certain persona non grata. Over the years I've gotten pretty good at the mega delete - after reviewing the list of new messages and deleting _unread_ those obvious junk messages which slip through. Then I go into speed reading/skimming mode with the cursor hovering above the delete icon. I'm on 5 or 6 maillists and average 100-125/day. If I'm going away for more than a weekend (i.e. vacation/convention), I either unsubscribe tmporarily from those lists or go to Nomail option. Conrad Hoffsommer You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
