HELP NEEDED ! How to set up an email filter ?
ap...@softhome.net
I'm a user of Forte Agent mail reader, and I have difficulties in
setting up email filter.
I subscribe to a lot of humor/joke mailing lists, and I am trying to
find a way to set up a filter to automatically move all joke and humor
related message into a "Joke" folder inside Agent.
Currently, I subscribe to 36 different humor-related mailing list, and
I have 36 different filters set up to do the work - one filter for each
mailing list. However, I think that there ought to be a better way.
Most of the humor related maillist have headers like below:
[Humors]
*** Laugh and Humours ***
[Adult Humors]
===Naughty Humors===
and so on......
Many of them have the word "Humor" or "Humour" (British spelling)
incorporated in their headers, I am thinking that if I could have just
_ONE_ filter to do the job. So I looked up the Agent help file for
clues into how to set up such a filter.
The explaination is terse and confusing to begin with, or maybe I'm
just dumb, but no matter how I tried, I just couldn't come up with one
single filter that do all the job.
I tried "word expression" and "regular expression" and I tried the
following:
subject: humor* <-------- word expression
and the above would miss messages with [BestHumor] in their headers.
I then tried
subject: {.humor.} <-------- regular expression
but that wouldn't work either.
Please pardon my dumbness, for I just can't create the correct
catch-all filter to do the job.
Can anyone help me, please ?
Thank you !!
Most Sincerely,
Lee
