[pmmail-list] Filter for SPAM

[Dave Hathaway]

Hi Ralph,

I like your general approach.  However, like the others that rely on TO 
and CC fields, it will send BCC messages to the junk folder.  
Practically the only person who sends me BCCs is my wife, so I moved her 
special filter up front. :)

In regards to not sending it to the Trash folder, I find having a 
separate junk folder is a waste.  99% of my junk is SPAM and is 
eventually deleted.  I send SPAM to the trash can, and the presence of 
unread mail there alerts me to review it.  When I am sure it is all 
SPAM, I mark all messages as read.  This approach works very well for 
me.  BTW, I don't empty my trash on exit, but do it manually 
periodically.

Thanks for your additional filtering ideas,

Dave
