techrecoveryWe have a lot of users who use Netscape mail.
One of the users I deal with wants some filters set up because she's been getting spam lately, mostly with words she finds objectionable. I was going to set up some filters so she would never see them but in Netscape mail 7, there is nothing where you can chose the body of the message. I tried making a custom thing for the body of the message but it didn't work. The help file is no good. It just tells you how to make the standard kind. And it's IMAP mail not POP.Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

The user keeps getting mail from what she says are "perverts".
(and don't even get me started on how I work at a top 20 school and crap like this happens or how we are constantly having to fill out hack reports because our firewll might as well not exist.)

Date: 2003-05-03 05:24 am (UTC)There is only one that uses any sort of "real" mail system and that is Georgia State which uses Groupwise.
Georgia Tech and Emory both use a hodge podge of free mail apps. I interviewed with GA Tech and they said most people use Outlook Express. At Emory, All the people who use PCs that I have come across use Netscape.
I'm like hello!!! Major univeristies with lots and lots of money! Spend a little of it on something you need!
It's aggravating.

Date: 2003-05-02 03:07 pm (UTC)So I'm googling up some results and I see several tutorial pages that say 'can filter HEADER/SUBJECT only' and several that say 'can filter by " subject, sender, body, date, status, to, cc to, or cc, age in days or customize".
So there's probably one difference there. Or maybe there's just more options when you're in the actual NS Messanger display (as opposed to Navigator). I dunno. whatever the case, if the option is located under EDIT > Message Filters , it seems to have more functions than if it's located under TOOLS.
other than that.... I don't know anything else... I can't even find a plugin to automate most of it... :/
