Filter seems to work fine for me. I refer to bugs and/or surprising behaviors that Filter has exhibited for its users. I cannot recall past complaints, for which I apologize. Never having been a user of filter, I have no complaints myself, except perhaps that it occupies space in /u/src/mail/elm. :-) In any case, I cannot believe that Deliver, which uses shell scripts to control delivery, is in any way inferior to filter, with its restricted sets of conditions and actions; and Deliver is certainly the more general and flexible of the two. -- Chip Salzenberg at Teltronics/TCT , "I've been cranky ever since my comp.unix.wizards was removed by that evil Chip Salzenberg." -- John F.
