I filter some messages to the trash > on my email (the much loved outlook express) but many escape my "net". Email works around the "client/server model". There is a server, which provides service, and there are clients, which use it. In this case the service that is provided is mail-drop service. Normally your computer is the client, and the place from which it gets its mail is the server. If something happens on the "server side", then it is not happening on your computer. If something happens on the "client side", then it can happen on your computer if you have enabled it. The advantage of doing something on the client side is that you have more control over it. The disadvantages are that the data must be transmitted to your computer before you can do anything to it or with it, and that you have the responsibility to control it. - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
