- No need to run DefaultMgr for this, unless you need to find
- information about what dwrite's an app supports.
-
- To filter out lines from received mail messages, do the following:
- dwrite Mail MailFilter filterstring
-
- Where filterstring is a colon delimited string of fields you want
- eliminated from your mail header. For example, I use:
- dwrite Mail MailFilter "Received:Mime-Version:Status:Message-Id:
- Return-Path:Next-Reference:X-Mailer:Content-Type:Content-Length"
-
- This is all on one line, and prevents me from seeing the associated
- header lines.
