You mean in the BAT???
I thought they just added regex?
Call my way historically grown (g) but it works...
I agree though its not the neatest way...

Well but what about the BAT? If I was running Linux for my mail its
easy...

Yes, but is it for the average user easier then just adding filters??
While I donot mind a more elegant/complex setup myself, my experience
sofar with computers is that the easier and simpler and splitup a
suggested route is, the less chance the users end up messing it up
causing in most cases Me extra work...
And I myself am distinctly lazy when it comes to doing things like
this... ie, if it works: fine, if I get annoyed by it, and that happens
more and more, then I will sit down and revamp my setup.

So whats the exact setup you use with the Bat? ie with real code?
I donot mind plugging it in , adjusting it to what I use and see if it
works better or not.
I am very felxible when it comes to dumping my way of doing things if
I see a better way exists which works...
And will your setup do something I want to do, ie dump mail which has
sender=receiver etc?
I have some more spam left to get rid off!
Best regards,
tracer
