My problem was that the subject lines were all the same: a generic message telling me something got auto-discarded. Some Mutt trickery to highlight "Subject:" lines within the body of messages helped [1], and heavy use of pattern matching features of Mutt to find spammy keywords (e.g., "~b rolex") [2] helped... but it was still Work(tm), and I've got enough of that in my life already. ;) > But I wasn't being critical, just pointing out something sometimes > missed. Appreciated! [1] Like so, in my ~/.mutt/muttrc color body brightgreen black "^ Subject: " color body brightgreen black "^Subject: " [2] These, and friends: * l limit * D delete-pattern -- -bill!
