Carlos,
I don't use AOL so I can't suggest anything, exccpt to say that
proprietary formats will make your life rough. Perhaps Netscape
Communicator will eventually support AOL given the fact that the former
owns the latter?
Personally, I use POP/APOP mail and Eudora. In this case I created
two filters for "To:" which sort the mail to the general/digest/whatever of
Yellowdog to a mailbox, sets my return personality and whatever, and skips
the rest of the filters.
The next thing I did was move the filter to the very top. I have my
subject line filters for span mail set at the very bottom of the filters
list. The "Skip Rest" feature allows you to safely sort your mailing list
mail to the correct mailboxes without accidentally filtering a bad subject
header like "Make Money Now" to your trash. Of course, it won't filter spam
that's sent to the list.
Take care,
terry
P.S. from Eudora for Window FAQ
AOL, DELPHI, FREEMARK, JUNO, MSN, PRODIGY all use proprietary mail systems,
and do not support the Internet Email standard which is what Eudora uses.
If you would like to be able to use Eudora with your online service, write
to them and ask them to switch over to the Internet Email standard. MSN,
and Prodigy all have plans to switch over, but have not implemented them
yet (as far as I know, if they have started supporting it, please Email me).
