I should have clarified earlier, I do the only filtering really.  Val
just lets Thunderbird do the filtering for her (makes more sense to her
then a .procmailrc file).  I just gave her a procmailrc file to get rid
of the SPAM.  Her .procmailrc file is:

   :0:
   * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
   /dev/null

and she does not even know it is there :-)

Ariel does not get enough mail yet to worry about sorting, so she also
has the same .procmailrc file.

Since I have about 5 lists, and 3 emails, and I use Sylpheed or Mutt
depending on the situation, I use the .procmailrc file to sort my emails
only.  And since I get a copy of ALL emails, I can review the SPAM
folder and see if there was something that should not have gone to
/dev/null for Val and Ariel.

Thanks again for everything, I will be putting it all into
implementation this week and see how this goes. Let you know then
