It promptly deletes the message from the server before you download it.
Note however, that once you start using this feature, TB! has to check
all message headers at the server level before it starts downloading any
messages. If you use a modem connection, this will be very noticeable.

No. It's deleted immediately and without prejudice. :-) This is why the
word 'kill' is associated with it.

If you're still referring to the selective download filter then this is
correct. TB! will check the headers only, and not the message body. If
it were to check the message bodies as well, the operation would be
prohibitively slow.

Place each string in it's new line.

WB> Thanks to everyone and have a great day!

You're welcome and the same to you. :-)
