Me too. If you have a POP3 mailbox, try using swenfilter or mailfilter.

For swenfilter, do a search on Freshmeat. It's a Perl program. It'll probably
run on Windows, if you install ActivePerl. It catches about 75% of Swens, in
my experience. (I've had ~150MB-200MB Swen mails over the past week.)

mailfilter is http://mailfilter.sourceforge.net/ . It's a C++ program. I gave
up trying to build it on my Linux box, because it seemed to get stuck
compiling one C++ file.

Regards,
