Just getting caught up on e-mail today. This is very good news, Scott, thanks!
I agree that single word searches are not a good thing to do, but sometimes it's the best way to catch this ever changing spam. For example, I was trapping on the word "rape" and when someone asked their mortgage broker if they could scrape some numbers together for them, the message got held because "rape" got trapped in the word "scrape". I do like the ideas that were presented by Madscientist below, but being able to quote words will help immensely. Thanks again Scott, don't know what we would do without Declude! And it seems like every time we turnaround you are adding new features and functionality that enhance the product and make our jobs simpler. Keep up the great work!

The problem here is that it starts to get tricky doing this -- you're dealing with something where you can either write code that will get the job done slowly, or spend a lot of time fine-tuning the code to get it to work in a reasonable amount of time. It's definitely something for the wish list though... even if there is a performance hit, people can always decide whether or not to use it. :) -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
