I know, but that only solves a small part of the problem. True, one
no longer has to see the gargantuan header, but it's still there,
just a click away, and that means it's still eating disk space at the
rate of more than 2 k per message. Combined with the footer it's
typically larger than the message contents, often many times larger.
Since I archive the list locally I don't want any of that overhead.
Each thousand messages results in a couple of Megs of useless
information. There's no point in seeing it or storing it. I just want
4 lines in the header: To, From, Subject, and Date.
And of course the footer is there anyway because it's part of the
message body and the settings can't get rid of it, even visually. And
I don't want to store "Do you Yahoo?" or "Get your free Hotmail"
messages either. So the solution was to blast the lot after
extracting the information that I wanted to keep. Hence the
adaptation of JDs script.
