As Thomas says below this line, try other products like spampal, they enable you to virtually remove all the crap. I tried it, works great but feed that whitelist and filte3r out mailing lists... Obviously having your own filters first to grab known receipients to their own folders is a smart way so that you spot incorrectly labelled spam.... Now incase anyone wonders why it says I am thomas as registered user, its due tos some computerised monkey taking the reservation from Thomas to enablee me to use my v2 as I upgraded a NON registered version due to a system crash, donot do this (g), I had 3 days left(!). Can someone please provide training with suitable bananas???(g) While I havent seen the bill yet as far as I am concerned the upgrade is cheap as if I go out in the evening in the place I live, I could spend half or all that subscription on beer and other stuff. Or more to the point being in Thailand I likely if I wanted could find myself walking off with 2 nice girls for that price (g). Anyway, jokes aside, I am happy not to have to worry for another serial change for v3 (g) if ever... TF> There are now some plug-ins available for TB, but they are in beta TF> status.
