I have mail actions defined in which messages will be marked by special
colors, put in designated folders, etc. when certain criteria are met:
e.g. sender, subject.
Even words in the message can be taken: e.g. UNSUBSCRIBE virus messages.
The sender will automatically be presented with a canned answer on these
annoying and boring texts.
