Actually the book does include instructions for thunderbird, which has it's own trainable junk mail filter. It's actually quite easy to use. If you have mail that you consider "junk" you click on the message in the index, and then click the junk button. After a while it starts to figure things out on it's own, and will mark messages as junk. From the tools menu you can alter the way it handles junk mail via the "junk mail controls" option. Also, during the another thread about spam on this list (I think it was this list...) I mentioned that gmail is great for list mail. It took a while but the spam filters on my gmail account are finally catching all the paypal spam. If you need a gmail invite, let me know.
