Somehow I missed your reply in March, MrSimon. As I hinted last time, I use Outlook, and there's little difficulty about setting up a "rule" that covers automatic handling of certain emails, even without writing a program for it.

You said "if an email contains a certain word", but you want to be careful with that. Let's say you want to treat any email that has the word "viagra" in it as junk mail (which would be understandable). But your program would then discard an email from a close friend saying "I keep getting these spam emails for Viagra and stuff like that, and I've heard you've found a way to filter them out; how did you do it?".



I don't know how the ISPs do this, but Google, at least, seems to identify spam pretty well. I'm sure many of the others do fairly well too. Maybe you just need to switch ISPs. Just a thought.
