Its the only logical working way. And I donot like deleting action on
a set of messages still containing messages I do want to see.
It makes life more complicated and more errors will occur.
In Nicks case, if Nick still has thet email send it to me WITH headers
and I can see if my filters catch the thing...
Addresses arent the only thing I filter on...

Thats what I thought... \
But then one can filter on anything not addressed the correct person.
Lets asume Allie gets send mail to the address he has in this list as
spam. Ok, but unlikely it has Allie in the name field....
Also an option to generate a fake bounce message back to the spam
address would be nice. It may get you off some mailing lists spammers
use....
Best regards,
tracer
