SwenDeleter is a Perl program to delete emails containing the Swen.A(?) virus from your email provider before downloading them.

Sounds like just what I need.

Here's the home page.

I'm also copying then summarizing the homepage here so I can open this on my (local) email server and install it — I'll remove everything that pertains to Windows (but note if you're reading this that SwenDeleter works in Linux, OS/2, and Windows (and maybe more??)).
