David> That's not a great way to hunt for spam I agree, however BBDB can still be very helpfull. What I do is that I split mail into various mailinglist folders and then I have two folders for the rest. One folder is for personal mail and I use the BBDB for that. If the sender has an entry in BBDB, the mail goes to "personal", otherwise it goes to "misc". This means that I get all important mail separated from the rest with all the spam winding up in "misc" (and the mailing list folders). ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Christian Lynbech | christian #\@ defun #\. dk ------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Hit the philistines three times over the head with the Elisp reference manual. - petonic@hal.com (Michael A.
