Neil,

I have just written a Message Filter called "Deleted by Subject" that 
contains, for now, eight message groups that are deleted upon arrival at 
my computer, only.  They are downloaded but not removed from our POP 
server.  Works for me, just fills up the Trash but that is easy to take 
care of.  Should my wife ever need to use my computer to read these, I 
can either disable the filter or she can check out the trash!
