If I DO want the incoming, and there are attachments, I use the script "trash attachments." Then I "dumpster-dive" for the one(s) that I want to see, if any, while leaving the others in the trash. That seems to be the quickest way to handle that problem.
Y'all realize that modern clients like Mail.app have fuzzy logic junk filters that can learn what is spam and handle it all for you.
I have almost no spam these days. Sure, I download a ton of it, but Mail filters it all into the Junk folder and never bothers me. When a new spam comes along that gets around the filters, I just mark the first few as Junk, and the problem goes away as Mail learns from it and knows it is junk. The occasional other spam still makes it thru, but so few that it just isn't a bother any more.
Once in a rare blue moon something is incorrectly junked that shouldn't have been, and so far that has only happened with the odd email list posting from one list or another, and when it has happened, usually the post is from someone using a free account so the footer of the email is full of advertising. And if I was worried about missing a list post of any kind, I can always white list the list address via a rule. (but I've never had to bother because it makes mistakes in that direction so rarely).
I'm not trying to push people away from Emailer or anything, just trying to point out that technology has come a long way regarding email in the last 10 years since Emailer was last updated!
