 If  you  go  into  the  Sorting Office (Shft+Ctrl+S) and Right Click on the
 Selective  Download title and then choose New Filter, you will find that at
 the  bottom of the right hand panel is an item 'Load strings from the file'
 and a place to enter or choose the file.

 It  is some years since I tried to use this feature and at that time it was
 not  always  functional!   You could use plain text strings or Regex.  I am
 not  sure  what  format  is now acceptable but as far as I can remember the
 items were separated by the pipe symbol (|).

 A WORD OF WARNING!
 Don't  under  any  circumstances  set the filter to 'Delete' until you have
 tested  it  well  with the 'Ignore' function, because if it cannot find the
 file,  it  is  liable to match *EVERY* message in your mailbox. It was this
 kind  of  difficulty which made me give up trying to use it, I found it was
 more reliable to make the multiple entries in the filter itself.
