Why pay for the mail filters? I've been using Netscapes message center
for the last months. It does all you want - redirect mail to various
folders based on filters, handle newsgroups, group messages on the same
thread and so on. I also used the digest version some days in the old
framers list, but I soon got frustrated as it's not very easy to
responding correctly to posts, it takes time before you get answers on
your questions, you have to read (or at least browse through) even the
messages your not interested in.

If you framers out there continue having the digest version, please
respond correctly, i.e. by it's subject.

Just my humble opinion.
