          What you say makes sense. Can you post a couple
          examples using procmail? Or at least some URIs?

          Quit teasing, Gopi. I suspect you know whereof
          you speak. Please tell us:

          How does one "choose to view" attachments before

          Who are the authorities to whom we should report
          offenders? TIA, best wishes ...
