Sorry for the adventure. BTW, how large are the messages? Any attachments?
Did the OE problem happen when outlook was fetching the messages or when you were viewing/previewing them?
Anyway, it really sounds like you could use a filter at the mail server. Anything removed at that end is one less thing to download and fight, for you and spamihilator. (nice little program, btw)
Did you find any tools at RR? They should at least have a simple "on/off" switch for protection. If they don't provide anything at all you could make use of a third party filter. There are paid services, but a simple cheat is to use something like gmail or yahoo to grab and filter your mail, then have OE get your mail from their cleaned results.
