There is a file in the mail directory called sort.dat that is edited with a text editor. My method is that almost all the mailing list stuff goes to folders and that the personal and spam stuff goes to the inbox. I just delete the spam stuff. The other benefit is related stuff gets grouped together in the folders and I do not have to move it if I want it and it is a quick delete if I do not want it. BTW I really only post to this list with this address and so far no spam at all. 73 Eric ecottrell@doble.com
