    UMSLaberFilter NAME/A,PASSWORD,SERVER/K,FILE/A,EXPIRES/K/N

DESCRIPTION

    This tool helps you to find out uninteresting messages and avoids you from
    reading them.  You may specify a from name or a subject in a so called kill
    file to recognize these messages.  Additionally you may determine a date
    after that a filter criteria expires and will be removed from the kill
    file.

OPTIONS

    NAME,
    PASSWORD,
    SERVER  : UMS account
    FILE    : name of the kill file
    EXPIRES : expire time in days

KILL FILE

    The kill file is parsed with the AmigaDOS function ReadArgs. The template
    for a line is: FROMNAME/K,DATE/K,SUBJECT/K

    FROMNAME : from name of the sender (no patterns allowed)
    DATE     : the date in AmigaDOS format
    SUBJECT  : subject of the message (patterns allowed)
    GROUP    : list of groups when filtering for subject, separated with comma

    Examples:

    ; filter out all messages with a certain from name
    FROMNAME "Andre Schenk"

    ; filter out all messages with a certain subject
    SUBJECT "What a boring subject"

    ; filter out all messages with a certain subject in specific groups
    SUBJECT "What a boring subject" GROUP "group1,group2"

    ; filter out all messages with a certain from name; the filter will be
    ; removed from the kill file if the given date is older than the number of
    ; days in option EXPIRES
    FROMNAME "Andre Schenk" DATE "12-Aug-00  21:49:53"

    ; filter out all messages with a certain subject; the filter will be
    ; removed from the kill file if the given date is older than the number of
    ; days in option EXPIRES
    SUBJECT "What a boring subject" DATE "12-Aug-00  21:49:53"
