Such e-mails are now reviewed by 'Mr Delete-Key'. you might to think about installing a spam filter in your mail client. These use a technique called Bayesian probability to work out from the contents whether or not a message is spam. You can set actions to invoke according to the probability of the message being spam, most notably: Delete. http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html I use The Bat! mail client with its own Bayesian filter and it has been very accurate at identifying spam. So far it has had no false positives and I now see no more than about 3 spams per day - a massive improvement. -- Cheers, Bob
