Subject: GEN: Managing e-mail and Recipe Day
> If the onslaught of Recipe Day messages irks you, most e-mail programs

> couples of days where I don't have time to go though 100s of messages I
> can (GASP!) mass-delete them.

> For Recipe Day I would suggest a filter/rule that looks for the word
> Recipe in the subject line and directs the messages to a folder named
> "Those %^&#!&*& Recipes". Then you can delete entire folder at your
