Well, not to compete with your other recommended list, but as I said in
another message, I use Sam Spade for such things - it's available as
freeware at http://samspade.org/ssw/ Sam Spade has good spam fighting
tools as well. If you're looking for an "online" or "web" utility,
Geektools at http://www.geektools.com is another great site.
