All good info... thanks!
I think I'll shoot off an email to Qualcomm and see what they have to say
about both the order and the additional FROM field. You're probably right
in that they didn't add it to make it easier for the user. But, would be
nice to give that option.
That SpamWatch filter you're referring about is nice from what I hear. I
use K9 at the moment, which uses the same Bayesian filters. But, would be
good if it were built-in.
Thanks for you help on this.
