Hi !
maybe you heard about the emacs uce feature ?

uce stands for unwanted commercial email.

juste type something like M-x uce(i don't use emacs) when reading a mail,
and a mail to abuse@..., root@..., postmaster@...,
is generated, explaining this mail (reproduced down) is a commercial email,
that it is a kind of spam, that the sender should be blamed, and so on...

could we imagine such a feature in Pine ?

bye

xavier

Wow.  I didn't realize someone would make that a feature of their mail
reader.  :)

Personally, I prefer spamcop.net.  You have to copy and paste the message
(with full headers), but other than that it does the same thing.

Perhaps our best bet would be to set up a spamcop-like system that
accepts bounced messages and deals with them automatically...

Hi,

> could we imagine such a feature in Pine ?

I'm using adcomplain to that effect.
adcomplain is a perl script that reads a mail from STDIN and mails a
compaint to the postamaster or to abuse.net.

To complain, I use the pipe filtering capability of pine:
'|' to pipe, ^W to filter the raw text and ^Y to interact with the
script.

adcomplain is available at <http://www.rdrop.com/users/billmc>

If you turn filtering on, you get a piece of commercial email only once
provided you filter correctly.
