Yes and thanks to all of you.  I guess I'm just going to have to check 
things every day since my ISP does make mistakes now and then.  For 
example the Subject of *SPAM blockers* in our Emailer dialogue triggered 
my ISP to insert the prefix SPAM and it went into my SPAM folder but now 
I have changed my Mail Actions as you said and they go into my Deleted 
Mail Folder which is programmed to empty every ten days.

I know Chris disagrees but I feel only proper education is going to 
reduce significantly these spammers.  I see criminal behaviors at my Jail 
classes four times weekly and know for sure that proper education 
transforms them and the recidivism rate is reduced dramatically from the 
effects of my program which would even be greater if these Offenders were 
to receive proper follow up support on the outside.  The problem is the 
system is defective and caters to ego, political, financial type 
decisions instead of prevention and rehabilitation.  And it really 
surprise me that in spite of the increases in crime and the overcrowding 
of prisons which is very costly, the average taxpayer doesn't give a damn 
as long as they have their technological comforts and ease.  

In the meantime, in spite of new technology, we Emailers keep on truckin.

regards,
doug
