That's a deterministic rule, but it sounds pretty arbitrary to me. I want to create a filter that I will apply manually once in a while, and I never want it to be applied automatically to all incoming email. I guess I can write an Applescript, but that's much harder than creating a filter. -- Dan Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED] Democracy: Two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner.
