[Elecraft] OT: How to automatically delete OT (or other) posts in Thunderbird

[Alan Bloom]

I'm the guilty party who started the original off-topic thread. Sorry 
about that!


If you're using the Thunderbird email client, the following is the 
easiest way to automatically remove unwanted messages:


1. Click on the message.

2. Click on the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the upper right of 
the window.

3. Click on "Message" then "Create Filter from Message".

4. Change the "From" field to "Subject". (Or leave it at "From" if you 
want to flag the sender rather than the subject.)

5. Change the "Is" field to "Contains"

6. In the next field, enter "OT" or whatever text you want to flag in 
the subject line.

7. In the sub-window below that, choose the folder you want to send the 
message to.  (Perhaps "Trash"?)

8. Click "OK"
