This one does strip but not store.  I could have it forward the complete
email if I want.  the method to do it should be faster though.  I like
doing a right click and setting whatever action I want instead of going
through layers of rules.

I'd like to be able to strip out stuff like links to Incredimail, etc.

Does whitelists and reputation filtering.  I can add entries if required. 
Does URL blacklists as well.

I don't let the lusers tweak nuffin.'  If a user has to make a decision
such as this then I'm failing at my job.  Whenever possible I remove
decisions from users.  They are too busy surfing the internet to be
interrupted with real work.

I'd love to see a counter on the various rule entries to see what is being
hit and what is never touched.  This would help clean up years of rule
making when some spammer finally dies.
