This is for a POP accont on dial up. 1) In Settings->configure kmail->network click on the recieving tab and check the "Filter messages if they are greater than" box set the size to about 3800 bytes 2) In Settings->Configure POP Filters set up a filter to delet the unwanted messages off your ISP's POP server. 3) The Kmail POP filter can accept regex and there is even a GUI regular expression editor. It works reasonably well. Kind regards, Jonathan
