"Delete As Spam" button for Exchange

[Spicer, Kevin]

Looks like we had the same idea!  I'm curious whether your script would add any headers to the message (through the Mail::Client interface), the one drawback to me using fetchmail is that both fetchmail and the local MTA add headers (although this is far preferable to forwarding with Outlook).  Would you mind letting me have a copy off list? (kevins at bmrb.co.uk).

I'm just about to start work on upgrading MS (I was waiting for the stable release of 4.14) so I'll be trying this out over the next few days.
