[comp.mail.elm] weedout lists

s887212@minyos.xx.rmit.oz.au (Stephen Riehm [Romulis]) (11/13/90)

I have recently gained a reason to use the weedout list (theoretically)
provided by elm. However.. none of the docs around here even mention them.
(the only reason I know of them is that there is a weedoutlist variable in
my elmrc file)

if someone has any information regarding the format and method of using
these lists.. be it previous news.. blatant plagiarism of existing docs or
whatever I would be most grateful to hear from you.

if I get email I will summarise

thanx in advance

This is my list for weedout , my documentation shows you can remove 
any of the headers by listing it in the double "quotation marks".

# what headers I DON'T want to see, ever.
weedout =  "Sent:" "Status:" "X-Mailer:" ">FROM:" "Received:"
           "Message-Id:" "From:"
#          "To:"

# enable the weedout list to be read...
weed = ON

I usually have To: removed so I do not have to page through all the
mass mailing haeder.
