} er... I do not have yellowdog yet so please excuse me if this is a stupid
} question. But don't yellowdog have procmail installed?
One can certainly install it if it's not included. I have it running,
although I installed from source since I needed a small patch to run
with qmail, so I don't remember if YDL comes with an rpm. But I doubt
he's using Yellow Dog to access AOL. Even on MacOS, though, good
software (for example, Eudora) allows you to filter on any header.
Of course, if "being on AOL" is a severe limitation, the solution is
obvious.
