Thanks for the link. I'd heard of K9, but that was a long time ago. I
use MailwasherPro and Eudora. That works fine for me. Mailwasher
doesn't "render" the html, just shows the first so many lines of an
email. It has white and blacklisting, spamreporting and deleting off of
the popserver. I like to see what is addressed to me, and this is the
"best" solution for me <grin>.
