In Netscape you click on 'Edit' then on 'Message Filters'.  It's pretty
self explanatory after that.  I use it to sort my incoming mail.  Around
here I'd rather just see less of the sniping but the delete key is my
friend.

And I've used it on myself, writing something and clicking 'Send Later'
if I'm not certain if sending it is a wise idea.  It gives me a chance
to look it over later and more than once I've just deleted a message I
was going to send, not even rewriting it.  A lot of it just isn't worth
the hassles.
