As for the main part of the thread I enjoy the side issues, they are not so a total waste of time. I personally have learned alot of information that wasn't 'debian' specific. As for filtering I use elm on my isp to read and filter my mail. With all the debian going to a separate folder. This way I don't have to worry about deleting an email by accident when purging debian mail. Here are some of my filter rules and .forward that I use ~/.elm/filter-rules: # debian rule if (to contains "debian") then save "~/Mail/debian" #last rule - safety rule if (always) leave ~/.forward "|/usr/local/bin/filter -o /dev/null" Brian -- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://widget.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
