It would make it much quicker to go through the history
list if there was a button to remove all mail that was
associated with a magnet. That way I could quickly
seperate the wheat from the chaff (so to speak).

    I'm assuming you are using POPFile 0.22.x.

    If you do not want to see any magnetised messages, select
    "Filter by <magnetised>", tick the "Invert search/filter"
    box and click the "Filter" button. The history pages will no
    longer display any magnetised messages.

    If you want to delete the magnetised messages, select
    "Filter by <magnetised>", ensure there is no tick in the
    "Invert search/filter" box and click the "Filter" button.
    The history page will now only show magnetised messages so
    you can use the "Remove page" button to delete these
    messages (or you can use "Remove all" if you want to avoid
    having to delete several pages one by one). Once these
    messages have been removed you can click the "Reset" button
    to display the other (non-magnetised) messages.

    I spend way too much time deleting magnetic mail. In my
    opinion, it should never be saved in the first place. I know
    I've suggested this before, but can't we have magnetic mail
    simply pass through popfile as if it didn't exist? Probably
    80-90% of my mail is controlled by magnets. Popfile has no
    business monkeying with any of this, and the vast quantities
    of emails simply bog popfile down.

    I see the suggestions for filtering or inverse filtering or
    deleting all magnetized, etc. But this is all a big waste of
    time.

    I've noticed that popfile's efficency goes way up after I've
    removed the magnetized mail.
