The "spam" mail is very irritating in my opinion. I use Microsoft Outlook
(MS Exchange has the capability also); and you can set your email to
automatically delete emails from a particular address. This option is found
under the Tools/Inbox Assistant/Add Rules option of mail, if your are
interested. At least this keeps me from having to filter throught emails
that I KNOW I don't want. You will have to add a rule for every address
that SPAMs you. I don't know if other email packages offer this feature.

I haven't received anything from the gourdpatch in over a week. Is
it
not working?"
I've been told that responding to one of those "remove my name"
offers is
counterproductive --- it just lets them know that their spam reached
a live
address, which they weren't sure of otherwise. Just delete it and
forget
it. I'm only getting a small handful of spam each week. The
gourdpatch
list is working OK --- could you be unsubscribed or something?
