You spend a lot of telephone cost initially downloading the headers
of all messages for the selective download filters to process the
message headers and then downloading the entire messages again. This
would be profitable in the end only if you're receiving a large
amount of spam in proportion to legitimate mail.

No. The regular filters cannot work with a string file. You'll have
to enter each string from the file as an alternative string in the
spam filter. You could also enter a few strings, copy and paste the
filter in your editor, look at the formatting of the few strings you
entered, add the rest of the strings in a similar format and then
copy and paste the filter back into TB!'s filter list.
