this setup defeats the purpose of using imap in the first place - to be able to see all messages _without_ downloading the messages themselves. i'm beginning to think i'm asking for the imposible - to filter the letter, i need to first download it. however, i should be able to filter out by the message headers that _are_ downloaded by imap, thus eliminating a large part of the spam, and only then downloading the rest of it for further inspection... oh, well. no spam solution for me... -- guy "For world domination - press 1, or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
