Mike,
I've struggled over the issue of using programs like
Mailwasher.......................as I'm sure you well know <G>
I found an alternative that suits me and justifies, in my mind, the
extra time and effort to run an acilary program like Mailwasher. I
use a program called True Launch Bar that has a mail plugin the I can
use to view mail on the server and filter according to my own
preferences -- it works great and is pretty fast. Since it's part of
TLB, I don't mind the extra effort -- funny how I can rationalize huh?
<laugh>

| Or if there is an attachment I have to double click on it to
