I agree with Pat below. One more tap of the delete key isn't going to hurt anyone. I've had the same email address for 10 years or more and it has been posted on countless message boards and websites. Because of this I get an average of 350 spams per day. I've set up filters to trap the obvious stuff but I still have to visually scan the subject and senders because I have friends who think that an appropriate subject for their email is "hi" :-) Chas.
