On a Listserv list, it was mentioned that the delte button and the report as spam buttons are very close together in the AOL client, leading to a lot of false reporting.

If their spam filters are as effective as they claim, this shouldn't be a big deal. _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
