Does AIL, er, AOL have kill files?  The reporter trying valiantly to
cover the story with some kind of objectivity was reduced to observing
that some people just can't ignore any email - they have some kind of
weird need to read every message.  I guess this goes for messages even
from those they want to ignore.

In order to overcome this, do email kill files have to do their work
silently, so the user can avoid stress about what they're missing?

With procmail, you can associate arbitrary actions with a match, so no
it would not have to be silent.

You might pass this information on to CNN in Atlanta.  It seemed to me
the woman's problem was completely unnecessary give current cypherpunk
techology _in_situ_.  Their number is:

			(404) 827-1500

10:00 to 18:00 weekend hours- 08:00 to 21:00 week day hours.  I didn't have
to wait long to get a live one on the line.  Rates are great on Saturday
as well if you haven't gotten around to dumping AT&T as your carrier.

Yup, Jeff -- information on Procmail is the sort of late-breaking
wide-interest news that CNN jumps at.
