Also for me this is the most important requirement. Nettamer is not the
only program that does this, though admittedly the most user friendly.
Nupop and KA9Q (with a "killfile" and the make_get utility) do this,
too, in certain aspects even more effectively. BTW, messages downloaded
by KA9Q by this method, can be imported by Yarn.
