Interesting indeed, my Gmail is so constantly full of spam that I never, ever use it. For all I am told Gmail is superior to Yahoo Mail, Y! at least filters out the spam. If I get one or two in my inbox, that's a lot. Gmail seems to have no filter whatsoever; every time I happen to look in on it, it's over a hundred spams a day. Thanks for posting this, Cary!
