.. Because OE does not filter on HTML messages or part the HTML part of a message. Never has. It will only look at the text part. Believe me, it's been asked for since OE5.0, I know I asked during the beta. What OE really needs is a filter that says "Only download messages that satisfy the following criteria". -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

Technically, for POP3 connections that would be impossible. The best it could do is use the TOP 0 command (when available) to download and inspect only an E-mail's headers. Supposedly what you're looking for may be more feasible using IMAP but even then it's hard to imagine how you would be able to filter on HTML content without first downloading it. ; ) Robert Aldwinckle --- |

That's the problem. People want the computer to read the message and not
download it if it has certain characteristics, but how do you read it without downloading it? G I wrote a server side filter when swen came out, but that still had to access the message contents first as well (although it was easy to filter swen). steve "Robert Aldwinckle" wrote in message ...

G I've seen some people claim that MailWasher can do that. They tend to back off when I point out that, even though MW doesn't write the message to disk (maybe; but what about the virtual swap file), it still has to pull the message from the POP3 server and load it into memory. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

There is a way to get partial information and not the entire message. So
one could download enough to figure out its pure HTML without having to download the entire message. For instance, if one got the first 200 lines one could probably determine much of the header info and also the message type sufficient to provide greater filtering variables than what OE now provides. steve "N.
