Thanks Tom for the advice. I'll have to give that strategy a try. Should work pretty good for my boys, as they receive e-mail from only a select few relatives.
As for me, that won't work because of the nature of research that I am involved in, I never know who I might receive very important e-mail from. I have filtered out lots of e-mail that I expect to be receiving though, but still am stuck with tons of unwanted trash mail.
