In answer to your first comment, yeah - along those lines, with some
configurable parameters that the user can set.
In answer to your second comment, yes it would be good to be able to
filter on size, but I personally wouldn't use it because then I'd have
to go and move the 'large messages' after I'd finally received them,
into their intnded destination.
Thanks for taking the time to listen :-)
