For the above example, something like

	=kill() Content-Type: {text/html}

or

	=kill() Content-Type: {charset="ks_c_5601-1987"}

should work, depending on what you're trying to do.


Further instructions and examples are in the Help file - even the
outdated English Help file. The Help file comes with each full
release version of Hamster, but not with the betas. A somewhat
updated version of the mail filter help is at 

	http://users.bestweb.net/~pbatchie/hamhelp/

In mailfilt.hst the filter order can be very important.
