That works, however why should one transfer the junk to the internal
client and discard it there? Especially users who pay by volume would
appreciate that.

That would be nice indeed. What about a wildcard scenario? If one
could specify stuff like

ad.*
ads.*
adserv*
*/realmedia/*

this would be quite a short list and still catch most junk. Firefox'
extension "Adblock" works that way.

Kind regards  Frederick
