I should have been clear. I have some positive filters that are easy (J, K and REBOL mailing lists, for example) are easy to recognize and separately box. Most of the `spam' detectors are on the words you'd expect, and in the early days I'd add a term every now and then. The rest goes in to the `look at subject' box. Most of this gets opened.

And I gave up on using any of my handhelds to read any of my mail. So that isn't a problem for me. But I do understand that other people can't adopt the simple `read at my desk' solution.

We are about to put our own `mailserver' on line, and it will handle the initial receipt, forwarding only things we `know' (or are willing to chance) forwarding, and letting us deal with the rest whenever (and wherever) we get a direct net link to our mailserver.

BTW I have never, in all my years on the net, been adequately able to account for the relatively small amount of spam that I ever see. I have had a cable modem for years, and process lots of mail, but never see much spam. Perhaps it is the sign of an all-too-boring life.
