Linton, you don't need a batch file or some utility. You just need a
decent e-mail program -- Pegasus.
You can set filters up in Pegasus in more ways than any other client I
am aware, including filtering incoming e-mail to the trash based on
Subject or Address and you can filter in all your other folders to look
for age and dates of messages and act upon those message per your
instructions, including deleting the triggered messages.
Admittedly, Pegasus is a little more complicated in setting filters
than most other e-mail clients, but that largely is because it does so
very much more than other clients. Pegasus actually gives you
Let's see here...filter to delete based on:
(1) Subject
(2) Address
(3)
