Randy: I guess I am pretty dense. This still does not make sense to me. If I forward all Spam in my email program (eudora) I find to my junk email box, how does TF know to add these spam items to its filter list? I did not know TF built filter lists automatically? And finally what good would it do me to manually forward known spam to a junk email box, just to have TF trash it for me? I can delete the spam outright in my email program anyhow. -Kerry
