If you are going to go to PS> such extremes to filter out spam why not add this one As a Brit, I'm not surrpised, but I'd add $ to make the list more complete. Tyhe reason for using currency symbols that a lot of spammers will use subjects like "Make Million$" and so forth. Actually, another good candidate for the list is also the ! which spammers love to use. However, if including that one I'd send the result to a spam folder, whereas the rest could quite happily go to trash. -- Best regards, Mike ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
