Thanks, I'll try and ignore their message. I was afraid Win.net would get mad at me for letting them pile up.
Actually since I'm on my computer during the hours Win.Net is available by phone, I just called them to see if ignoring the message was OK. They said fine that's what they recommend: If you review the ones given in their message and all are spam just ignore the message and they automatically delete the spam after 20 days. Of course only 40 of the most recent e-mails are listed whereas the message says I have 663; by the time I got around to checking them there were over 700. I might mark their e-mail as junk (in Apple's MAIL) and really ignore it.
