I was looking to have something that I could implement relatively easily on the client side (Eudora, Outlook [Express], or even a web-based mailer). Most of the clients I've seen have only the simplest string matching facilities for filtering. I understand that I can't have the flexibility that is permitted with regular expressions. I also understand that the best filtering solution would be implemented on the POP server rather than at the client end. But since neither of those options is easily available to me, I'm just trying to hack together what I can for myself and my family. --Chip Morton At 05:17 AM 6/21/2001, you wrote: >A list of rules that doesn't involve regular expressions is going >to be difficult to find.
