Use procmail. I'm not sure if there is a DOS port of it though.

I don't see many posts that appear as though someone has a chip
on their shoulder. Perhaps you are just too sensitive. I will
agree however that a lot of our discussions should be moved to
opendos-developer though as they are more suited in there.
Problem is that we've become accustomed to this group and it is
hard to break the habit. If the group was moderated it would be
easier to remember to change the reply's address to the
opendos-developer group.

Well the only reason that I can see someone bashing Micro$loth is
because they suck. Other than that, and the fact that their
programs are inferior and crash almost non-stop they really
aren't that bad of a company.

Start the RFC/CFV for an opendos group then. We'll all be very
greatful. Many have talked about starting the group but no-one
has started yet AFAIK.
BTW, does anyone know how to get Netscape for Linux to accept
xplaymidi as a midi plugin? I've tried virtually everything I
can think of including editing the /etc/mailcap file and can't
for the life of me get midi to work in Netscape for X. I'm using
Netscape Gold 3.01.
Thanks in advance.
