I have seen these suggestions, but this is overkill. You are getting rid of all mail between 14k & 15k.

A different kind of bad week

Bzzzt. Off by ten. That example got rid of messages 145K or so, which is exactly the size of the swen worms. In actual practice, I use a mail previewer, which allows me to choose to download the odd large, but desireable email. My cutoff is at 50K, which results in very few false positives, and those few can be selected out. Thanks for participating.
