The directory that holds Newsletters would indeed have messages such as it claims to find. That's where I store newsletters from certain companies that I deal with, and some of them do indeed have such sales. No matter how you look at it, that makes them definitely not junk. The other one, from a very careful friend, probably has a news item link that it objects to - he often sends me them. I repeat, I should not have to see this false statement every day in the reports - I should be allowed to tell it that it's wrong. Anne
