There is a way to filter colored backgrounds or all emails with html content. It took a little experimenting but I figured it out. This will filter out colored backgrounds Header: <Body> contains bgcolor This will filter all messages with html content. Header: <Body> contains <html> You will have to place this filter carefully in the lineup so that it won't filter things that you want filtered elsewhere. For instance I am in some Yahoogroups that include an ad in html at the bottom of the page. You can also select that the filter only works on incoming messages. That way you can go to the mailbox you filter them to and filter them to the correct box. Gene At 11:03 AM 12/20/01 -0500, you wrote: >AMEN to that, George.
