newbie kmail filter ques.
Hi; Not being an expert with filters, I ask the assembled experts. This is a kmail (which I use as a mail client) specific question. I wish to set up a POP filter so that MS executables and scripts in attachments are not downloaded from my mail server (earthlink) . So I just set up a POP filter in the handy dandy POP filter rules window box with a Filter Criteria of message contains .exe message contains .scr because message is what the kmail help page suggested for filtering the entire contents. But no joy. I'm not worried about them running, I just don't like them clogging up my mail. Any helpful hints?? Am I interpreting the concept of mail server correctly (that is, the mail server is my earthlink isp that stores my email).

Don't think POP filters can filter on message, seems to be only available for regular filters. Looks to me like POP filters can only filter on the message header.

Found lots of stuff on Google about imap. Reading comes next. Appears to be a compact Linux Journal article about just this task. -- Tony Alfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd rather be sailing ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
