For some reason I was assuming it would be more complicated than it
turned out to be. I guess that's because I usually read e-mail in the
morning while drinking my first cups of coffee.

It'll take my friends and others awhile to get used to using a particular 
address
form, but I'll give it a try.

MM This way you practically can filter everything using just Selective
MM Download filters.

In the beginning, I'll just filter those that don't pass to a junk
folder I can check periodically. Some of my friends are slow learners.

MM Okay then, less problems to solve. Tell me, do you have some friends, or
MM business partners who do not address you properly, namely not using your
MM full name (or a screen/nick name defined by yourself) in TO (or CC)
MM field, but using only the address of yours?

I assume I'm like most folks: I have my friends and others in my
address book and flagged so they go to the known folder; I have
white-listed mailing lists like TBUDL; but I do receive mail that is not
spam from others who are not in my book but whom I know or were
referred to me by friends. My friends use all sorts of nicknames for
me, including only the address; I can try to train them, but
will have to deal with the third on a case-by-case basis.

I'm prepared to go that route, but how do I do it? I already have a
number of addresses white-listed (such as TBUDL), and of course I have
my known filter. How do I send the rest to a junk folder?

MM Okay. Tell me first do you as well have your address on some of web
MM sites of yours, and if you do, in what form you have it exposed there?
MM Namely, what exactly mailto:; code/form you use?

No, I don't have it on any public web sites. I don't have any mail to
code. I have three addresses, but most of the spam comes to only one of
them.
