My first thought is: Only 53? Can we trade mailboxes? lol. I've gotten pretty good at visually scanning an inbox, immediately flagging spam that got through the filters based on the subject line and moving them to a junk folder. I never delete spam, for the reason that I want to recover from mistakes. -- Russell Senior [email protected]
