I just want to beable to delete and block all emails with the same subject with a few keys. This is the most important part. Sorting into folders but I want to use a -> few key strokes <- to remove and block all emails with a certian subject. Right from the mail client. This way I don't have to spend 5 - 10 mins deleteing
the latest flame war. It would be cumbersum to have to edit rc files for every thing it would provide some help but not enought. I could make scripts to edit the rc files but it would not make it much better. What I am saying is there any more advance mail clients that have made things easier. Another problem is console only. pine is fine. But if there was a command in pine that I just press a key while reading the message it would delete that message and all emails with the same subject and block any more that may come. This would stop me from spending 10 mins each day deleting junk. flames discustions I don't want to listen to.
I recently had the same need. I used to use slackware and popclient to fetch my mail. Now that I am using SuSE, I am using the newer fetchmail. I find the traffic on this list a little heavy at times and it was overwelming my incoming email. I had to find an easy way to send the SuSE specific mail to a folder to review later. I started to research mail filtering.
On my system, the way fetchmail works by default (no rc file, just invoked from the command line fetchmail -u username mailservername) is that it gets my mail and hands it off to the local deliver agent. On my system at least, the default delivery agent is procmail. I use pine as my mail reader.....
