I should look around more before posting. It does prove your point, though. The 'spam' button is ubiquitous, but so seldom used it's forgotten. Actually, my enthusiasm for my idea faded with a little thought. It is an extra effort to open spam to get to the 'spam' button, and sends the message to the spammer that people are, indeed opening their junk. I'd use it if I opened a message with a deceptive subject. Gil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
