|Yes of course Paul. Here we go. This is kind of long though.
|I have elimininated the names, because I do not like to disclose
|peoples' identities without their consent. I hope it is OK.
[Excellent collection of solutions deleted.]
|My suggestion is to return one copy to the sender, and one to the
|postmaster at senders.site, without reading it (the first two or three with
|a polite note attached for the benefit of the postmaster). ELM has a nice
|"F" feature or for just that sort of use....
|
|If the mail persists, try sending 10 copies (+/- however annoying the mail
|is) :-)
|
I'd like to use the more polite "auto-delete" technique... but rather
than basing it on the sender's ID, I'd want to delete messages with a
particular string in the Subject: field.
How may I set up Elm to do this?
