[snip] I'm all for using elisp whenever possible, but for me its just too slow to slug thru all of the mail I get in a 24 hour period. Situations like mine call for procmail. With it, one can siphon off the crud from your incoming mail and save it in a log file (which just may be /dev/null). Much faster than nnmail-split.
