iKey, Quickeys, etc. can all trigger AppleScripts from any program with keys you assign to them. I use iKey. Whether $25 is a lot of money or not for SpamSieve is something only you can decide, but let me offer this: I'd be quite surprised if anybody else's (free or built-in) spam system worked as well as it does. Not only that, but Michael Tsai is actively developing the program, and very responsive. I hope he makes millions with this little gem. I get about 150 messages a day. At present, about 55% of those are spam. With SpamSieve, I may see two, perhaps three of those in my inbox per day. The others are all immediately moved to a Spam folder. I used to review it regularly to make sure the program was working right, but I seldom do anymore. I almost never, ever get a false positive. I see all the whining and hand-wringing in the media about how spam is "destroying the Internet" and costing billions in lost time, etc. And everytime I think, "if these people just bought SpamSieve, we wouldn't have stories in the media like this." It honestly has made spam a total non-issue for me. --- Scott T. Hards President HobbyLink Japan (www.hlj.com)
