E---mail filters

[Jeremiah McCarthy]

Due to "retirement" economics and the age of the computer, (which also translate into economics) my connection is dial-up...The digest arrives on my doorstep as one, single e-mail message...There is no way to break it up into separate folders until after it is downloaded...Separating and deleting individual messages from it is a long, drawn out, screen-swapping process...Why should I have to spend an hour or so of my time at the end of the day manually filtering out stuff that should not be there in the first place?...The important word in the responder's message is "manually"...It cannot be done automatically...And what is RFC 822?...It might mean something to a computer guru, but it means nothing to me as a casual user...I never heard of it...BTW, I don't use Outlook...

Jerry, wa2dkg


>There is no fundamental reason why not. I don't have Outlook in front
of me, but I am fairly sure, as long as you request the digest in RFC
822 digest format, you can simply move the attachments into a folder
then manually run a set of filters on that folder.<

Solutions to your problem should cost essentially nothing.  They can
probably be done by using the software you already have.  They can
certainly be done on hardware that is too low spec to have any second
hand value and with software that is free.  Unfortunately, for reasons I
explained off list, I am not able to help you further.

[ Apologies for continuing this on list.  He has put me on his "spam"
list and challenged me to say anything I have to say publicly and this
is maybe a last chance to get the message across. I can't cover the
whole off list reply without violating the list charter. Note: by
default, discussion about use of a list is on topic on that list. ]

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
