[comp.mail.elm] Elm Filter Program

ggurman@cory.Berkeley.EDU (Gail Gurman) (06/10/91)

I have never had the need to use the filter program before but a friend
of mine is getting really nasty flames from someone and I suggested 
using filter to get rid of his messages.  I have read the filter instructions
and written a simple rules file.  However, what I want to know is,
is it necessary to run the filter program before going into elm or will
elm automatically do the filtering?

I just wanted to thank everyone who responded to my question.  The 
answer was that a .forward file should be used with a pipe to filter.
E.g.,

| filter -o filter-log

Thanks again.
