Version 2.0.7 adds/changes the following:

• Added the ability paste plain text from the clipboard to train good words, and bad words into the Jeffrian filter. You can only use this function with the Preferences window open. From the Purify menu Edit, Paste Good to add content to your Jeffrian good words. From the Purify menu Edit, Paste Bad to add content to your Jeffrian bad words. Why is this useful? So you can selectively add content to either filter list without "poisoning" the other, and so you can use "quick start" copying plain text from saved files to populate your filter with words that you consider good or bad. Lastly, if you are running Purify on one computer, and your email client on another, this useful feature gives you the ability to easily get content from your email client imported into Purify on the other computer.
