Well, Mike, this is no good at all. Have you any control on what the ISP offer? If so, can you turn down the offered vigilance? And yes, use filters and rules and email prgm options... I have a collection of the PCI lists (especially for the last few months) and there seem no missing issues, maybe I can send missing ones to you in a big folder, use OE? And, if this is not much solace, let me say this: I write to endorse your suggestion for folk not to add unnecessary stuff. David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
