Isn't this what Netscape and Outbreak do when you enable filters? I really don't know as I've never even conceived of using the feature, but from other's descriptions that's what I thought they did. > > Given my druthers, I'd rather run my own server, but Paul's particular > > situation left him few options. > > Paul likes exmh, and MH clients and IMAP do not mix This isn't exactly true; Paul is just stubborn. It is true that exmh can't access IMAP folders directly. The solution to this problem is use fetchmail to retrieve the IMAP messages, and use exmh to read them locally. You can either leave the messages on the server, or provide your own back-up mechanism. Or, you can just use Mutt. :) [Mutt supports mbox, mmdf, maildir, mh... etc. as well as IMAP and POP3.] > so he would have little use for such a tool, I am sure. This part, OTOH, is quite true. If you were to use the above technique, clearly you'd just filter locally with procmail. - -- Derek Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] - --------------------------------------------- I prefer mail encrypted with PGP/GPG!
