Subject: Anti-spam?

Hello,

Is there any way I can delete spam in my inbox when 
I log in? I have noticed that the particularly annoying
all appear to have a certain text string in the message 
body, and I have found a parameter called "display-filter"
in the setup. I suppose I could use it to delete the spam
before I read it, but what about when logging in?

I didn't find any "inbox" folder I could check with 
some program. BTW, I know nothing about Perl and the
like, just a little C.

Yes - if you can give a definition for it that is usable by a computer program.
