That's what I do with The Bat!'s Dispatcher--I look at each mail's headers and manually mark for download the ones I want. The rest are deleted on the server. IDB> I take it, Mary, that you aren't bothered about downloading spam? I never download Spam. Admittedly, I am lucky, I get offered, at most, one or two Spams a day. This week I"ve been offered three of those lists of nonsense words, which I understand are an attempt at propagating an e-mail virus. The needs of business users and people who get more mail than I do may be different. On principle, I am against blacklists and bouncing mail. I think the best course is to simply delete unwanted mail. I can't remember an unwanted advertisement getting through to me since my latest change of address (to go on broadband). And before that it was a rare occasion to receive Spam here. (I like to get Amazon's announcements that they've shipped my books or DVDS. :) ) -- Best regards, Mary :Mary: The Bat! 2.12.00 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
