WL[Subject].lst
WL[To].lst

When program running, filters data loading in the special tables, as you can see on the picture above.
Program check every messages fields [From], [Subject], [To] and if one of this fields contains text from white list - message marked by "white label".

Message marked with White Label will not checked with Black list and will not be deleted in any case!

   Otherwise program compare every messages fields [From], [Subject], [To] with fields from black list.
If one of this fields contains text from black list - message marked by "black label". This message will  be deleted, if Autodelete Spam checkbox is checked.
    In other word, White list has high  priority than Black list.

For example:
Black list [From] field=on meds
White list [From] field=pharmanova

Message [From] field = Cut your expences on meds!
This message will be marked Black Label, because it contain text "on meds".

Message [From] field =
PharmaNova is new word on meds!
This message will be marked White Label because it contain text "
pharmanova" - it has high priority then "on meds"

Note!
1. No Match Case difference!
2. Only cells, marked by ( automatic black label) in black list, is used.
I.e. you can cancel this cell, changing label (by mouse click)
