Re: GEN: Snow White Virus

[Robert Eiffert <beiffert@HOME.COM>]

Most email packages have a way of setting rules or filters.  In Netscape
Mail, under Edit there is Message Filters. You can select a wide range of
criteria and actions.  In Outlook, it is under Tools and Rules. There is
something similar in Eudora. (That's in Mac, PC is being used by someone
else right now)

I have a rule called junk. It looks for hahaha in the from line and moves it
to the folder I created called 'junk'.  You can add additional criteria if
you find things slipping through. I have another one that sends anything
with subject containing debt or money to that same folder.

Not quite on topic, but you can use the rules to send all list mail ( or
just a thread) or specific senders to  special folders. That way you can
cruise through email without having to mentally shift gears from friend's
vacation plans to selection policies to summer reading recommendations to
webpage design.
