Thank you very Austin and Gavin.

I have been inundated with spam in the last few hours and this nice little
utility has helped me a lot.

I have a question though: the size of email defaults to 120_000. Is there
some significance to this number or is it just an arbitrary number you
picked. I have been getting some spam with attachments which are 106K or in
that range. Of course, I have changed my version to catch them too but was
curious to find out.

Also, would it possible for you to add something like the "kill file"
support so that I can keep adding new patterns to it instead of modifying
the source code.

Thanks a lot.
