The attached Quoting.py is a handler which could be installed per the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/l4A9> to do essentially what it says in its docstring. If I understand your procmail conditions , they would correspond roughly to RATIO = 0.5 in the attached, i.e. quoted lines >= 0.5 * unquoted lines, but not exactly because yours includes the message headers which presumably would all be unquoted. Also, the attached handler holds the message rather than rejects it, although it could easily be changed to reject. A proper implementation would make this hold/reject/discard decision a list setting as well as making the ratio and the regexp for a quoted line list settings too. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
