I have no add-ons for Mail at all installed. My only spam filtering is on the server where spam assassin adds some headers if it detects possible spam. Those headers are checked on a different Mac using Mail rules but the one I was using for my tests with Jon had no other rules defined except the Apple supplied ones that detect incoming mail from Apple plus one similar one I added in long ago to color highlight certain mails. The test rule was placed in the number one position (top) of the rule list as well. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
