 +++ How can I view a message's full headers?
 To see the entire message header, click the **Message Source** link in the **Parts** section of the message view. This will show you the raw mail message in the mailbox, including full headers and any attachments in encoded form.
 
-+++ 
++++ How can I filter, forward, block, or automatically respond to mail?
+**[IMP 2.2]** All of the above functions should be done when mail arrives in the mailbox, not via IMP. Speak with your organization's support staff to see what facilities are available.
+
+**[IMP 3.x]** All of the above functions are best done when mail arrives in the mailbox, not via IMP. Speak with your organization's support staff to see what facilities are available for this. However, limited support for filtering and blocking of messages within IMP is supported.
+
+If you want to filter future messages from the same person as the message you are currently using, use the **Blacklist** link when in the message view. This will add a rule to filter out that sender, and take you to the Filter Rules Options page.
+
+For more general filtering, select the **Options** menu item in IMP, and then select //Filters// from the //Mail Management// section.
+
+Note that creating a rule does not filter any messages! You must click the **Apply All Rules** button on the Filter Rules page or the "Apply Filters" icon next to the INBOX name in the mailbox view to filter all undeleted messages according to the specified rules. If your installation has persistent options, you can set up filter options to apply your filter rules at login and/or when the a mailbox is refreshed.
+
+You can also create, remove, or arrange the order of rules from the Filters Rules page. Note that rules are applied once per message, hence rule order is significant. Make sure you have the most important rules first.
+
+There are also modules in CVS to interface with SpamAssassin ([http://cvs.horde.org/cvs.php/sam/ sam]), set up vacation notices ([http://cvs.horde.org/cvs.php/vacation/ vacation]), and set up automatic forwarding ([http://cvs.horde.org/cvs.php/forwards/ forwards]).
+
+There is also a configuration item in the cvs HEAD version of IMP that allows one to report spammers to a local spamassassin installation additionally or instead of the IMP blacklist.
+
++++ After using IMP, my non-Web mail program shows a message with the subject, "DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA".
+This is an artifact of the IMAP server that your organization uses, from which IMP retrieves your messages. The message can be ignored.
+
++++ After spellcheck, how do I find out the correct spelling of misspelt words?
+**[IMP 2.2]** IMP 2.2 does not suggest replacements for misspelt words; it only identifies words which do not appear in its dictionary.
+
+**[IMP 3.x]** IMP 3.x will suggest replacements for misspelt words automatically.
+
++++ How can I request a return receipt or delivery notification?
+
+**[IMP 2.2]** IMP 2.2 (and much of the Internet) supports neither return receipts nor delivery notification.
+
+**[IMP 3.x]** IMP 3.x does have support for return receipts. You can request a return receipt by clicking the "Request a Return Receipt" checkbox in the message composition screen.
+
+Whether or not you will get a confirmation back depends on many factors outside of IMP's control. For example, some mail servers will remove return receipt requests from mail before it reaches the recipient, and some mail clients will allow the user to select if return receipts should be honored. Because of these and other factors, you should not depend on return receipts being honored by all recipients.
+
++++ How can I have IMP notify me when new messages arrive?
+**[IMP 3.x]** If you IMP installation supports persistent preferences, you can configure this via the **Options** link in the IMP menu bar. From **Options** select **New Mail** (from the "Other Options" area), then check the checkbox labeled "Display pop-up notification of new mail."
+
++++ Can I undelete messages?
+**[IMP 3.x]** You can undelete messages any time up until you click on the Empty Trash or Purge Deleted buttons, or until any automated emptying of the trash occurs if you have set up such an option. To undelete messages (marked as deleted) from the inbox listing, check the checkbox to the left of the messages you wish to keep, then press the Undelete link at the top or bottom left of the page. When you are viewing a message marked for deletion, there will be a link at the start and end of the message to undelete that message.
+
+If you are using a Trash folder, you can undelete the messages by moving them out of the Trash folder into another folder.
+
++++ How do I print the content of an email message?
+**[IMP 2.x]** In IMP 2.x there is no seperate print option. You will have to use the print option of your web browser.
+
+**[IMP 3.x]** When viewing a message, you can easily print the contents of the message using the Print link in the menu bar that appears above and below the message. You should print the message this way rather than using the browser print function, as the browser's print function will print the entire web page rather than just the message contents.
+
+When you click the Prink link, the message will open in a new window so you may print it. Depending on the web browser and operating system you use, your browser's print dialog box may automatically open for you. If it does not, pull down the browser's File menu and choose Print.
