Jon,

Regarding your message dated: 02 April 2002...

JL> Is there anyway to rapidly add junk mail to a "Trash" list?

JL> It seems like the process is currently quite laborious, unless I am
JL> missing something. I open the Filters screen and modify my Spam list.
JL> But I have to copy and paste the email address etc.

JL> Is there a quicker way? Or can you somehow right mouse click the email
JL> and choose "Add to Spam Filter" or something like that?

A quick and crazy idea which provides something similar to what you
ask is prompted by something I read on either TBUDL/TBBETA in the past
day or so regarding Spam filtering.

Create a separate address book called something along the lines of
"Spam Directory" then create a Spam filter which matches "@" and
checks that the sender is in the address book to filter the mail to a
junk/trash folder.

Then, adding a new user should be as simple as right clicking on an
offending email and selecting "Specials/Add Sender to Address Book"
(Ctrl-W)  which is as close as I can get to the correct answer. Note
also that having not tried this myself, you may need to create a
separate SPAM group in your main address book rather than a separate
SPAM address book in case the filters only work from the default
address book... and this may mean that your auto-complete
functionality is affected by all the spurious extra address entries.

Anyway, that's my suggestion in the 30 seconds I had available. I look
forward to hearing the exact and correct answer from Carol
Vorderman shortly....

Best Wishes,

Mark
