Filter/block messages based on content
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2009 1:29 am
Hi all,
I was wondering whether there's a way to filter my incoming messages, for instance using an AppleScript? A bunch of my contacts have viruses that send me messages, and although I've told them not everyone has done something about it. However, the messages have common words - 'acai berry' (bizarrely) and 'horny' being the common ones! So what I'd like to do is check whether what a contact says contains any of a list of words such as these, and if so don't display it.
A long shot, but if it's not possible it's maybe worth considering a word/phrase blacklisting option for the future? What do people think?
Thanks in advance
Guy
