It probably works different for each email client (at least I would expect it
to, Murphy's Law you know, nothing is ever as simple as it could be :),
however, using Pegasus I can setup "filters." Basically these are simple
macro's that Pegasus executes automatically. For example, it highlights all
email from my gf in bright pink. It automatically clears of the host any
email from MC23 off the host or anyone else I choose to ignore (like junk mail
if I know the address or something else I can identify it by). Since I don't
know what email software you use, the best advice I can give you is check your
help file and maybe do a "search for help on..." Filters. Hope that helps.

I still don't know why you're so intolerant. He's only been on the list for
a week, and already you've kill-filed him!

He didn't even have a chance to find his feet....

He's calmed down now Y'know.....

LOL!

If you have to use Windows 95, get the Pegasus mailer. It has filtering.
