I already know quite a bit about POP3 and what you can do with it
(which is why I said that as far as I know you can't reject messages).
But you *can* ignore them by looking at the headers end deciding not
to download them.

I know - that's why I said:

"I know you can use the selective download, but I get hundreds of
messages a day and that isn't really feasible for me."

I would like Pegasus (or any mail clinet) to be able to do this for me
automatically based on a set of rules.
