...also beware of people sending you mail in HTML format. The script is
embedded in the HTML message, so filtering for the "filename=" won't work.
For this you will have to filter for AE..KAK in the message body (with only
one period, of course...) :)
So your RULES.IMA file would have
B~AE..KAK:NUL
(with only one period)

Which proves my point... those on the list who fwd to NUL(L) would never
even see this info... for whatever reason, your - * etc conversions... my
filter was still triggered. But I read your message in my "suspect" mailbox
:)
Thank you very much for the illustration - that makes a lot of sense.
