FWIW, here's a sample portion of my ~/.elm/filter-rules: For the record, if you use elm's filter, one day you *will* loose mail. This is not a matter of if, but when. This is a platform independent "feature", not a quirk in the freebsd version. Do the right thing and use procmail. Unfortunately, the syntax of procmail rules file are a little obtuse when compared to filter but I guess it makes for faster parsing. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================
