[SuSE Linux] WP8 &5.3
I still haven't gotten SO5 to install under 5.3. I did download Word Perfect 8 today and had no problem installing the package under 5.3. Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm glad it decided to work this time.

I am tried of lots of junk I revice. ie on one mailing list i had to delete way to many linux vs NT emails from one of the emails I am on. I was wondering if any one knows of a mail client that would delete all messages with the same subject. ie: all Re: linux vs NT then I would only have select this subject as unwanted and they would auto maticly go to the trash. charles - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Procmail can do it but that is before the client is run, netscape can delete a thread, nmh, exmh and tkrat can select multiple messages that can then be deleted. This isn't an exhaustive list of course. /Michael - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

This isn't an exhaustive list of course. Sorry as for nmh it is diffucult to learn. tkrat is X based and tcl , exmh I never like and it is X based. Netscape is X based too.
I am looking for a simple feature that I do not want rewrite another mail client to handle this. These are all the mail clients I could petty much find. I just want to beable to delete and block all emails with the same subject with a few keys.

Michael, I dunno if this is what you're looking for but I know that with a version of the Pine mailer you can select all messages with a particular word in the Subject or Body etc. and then delete it. Cheers, Jake.

Michael,
I dunno if this is what you're looking for but I know that with a version of the Pine mailer you can select all messages with a particular word in the Subject or Body etc. and then delete it. I want new mails deleted with the same subject too.

I am looking for a simple feature that I do not want rewrite another mail client to handle this. These are all the mail clients I could petty much find.

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. Check out your /etc/sendmail.cfg file and look for a line like these to see if you are set up to use procmail by default for local delivery (this is likely): (output of grep procmail /etc/sendmail.cfg) ##### @(#)local_procmail.m4 8.6 (Berkeley) 10/20/96 ##### Mlocal, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=10/30, R=20/40, A=procmail -Y -a $h -d $u ##### @(#)procmail.m4 8.6 (Berkeley) 4/30/97 ##### Mprocmail, P=/usr/bin/procmail, F=DFMSPhnu9, S=11/31, R=21/31, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=procmail -Y -m $h $f $u This made life simple for me. Procmail is well documented as a filter. It took longer to read the faqs then it did to implement. I found it easy to understand the docs and VERY easy to implement. It works well. I suggest reading the mail filter faq available at: rtfm.mit.edu/mail/answers/mail/filtering-faq What I did ( to boil it down) was this, create a .procmailrc file in my home dir that looked like this: ##################### # created 12-12-98 # by david #################### #################### # revised: # ################### ################### #Set some variables ################### VERBOSE=on PATH=/bin:/usr/bin MAILDIR=$HOME/mail LOGFILE=#MAILDIR/from # Directory for storing procmail lock files PMDIR=$HOME/.procmail LOGFILE=$PMDIR INCLUDERC=$PMDIR/rc.maillists ###################### # end variable setup ###################### Next I created the directory refrenced in the rc file (.procmail). Finally, I created my rules for filtering the mail ~/.procmail/rc.maillists (procmail calls them recipes). Since I wanted all my SuSe mail list to go to a sepparate file, I created the filter below: ################ :0 * ^Subject:.*SuSE suse ################## This sends all mail with SuSE in the subject to a mail folder suse. I hope this helps and remember Your Mileage May Vary, so read the docs and go slow.

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.

Well it's a libc5 program, isn't it?.
