EudoraPro
EudoraPro has this function - a set of filters can be defined to redirect
messages into any mailbox (including trash) based on key words in the
title, sender or whatever. It works fine. EudoraPro also includes a spell
checker, interchangeable signatures, uuencoding and a couple of other
features but is otherwise identical to regular Eudora. It costs about
50dollars - send an email to eudora-sales@qualcomm.com for information. I
would recommend it to anyone who is using eudora heavily, would like a bit
of extra functionality, and has funds for suchthings...

Mail Digest
Anyone who is feeling seriously afflicted by the bolide message shower
should consider changing to digest mode - this means you get the whole days
paleonet messages as a single large message. To go for this send the
message;

Set Paleonet mail digest

to our helpful listprocessor;
