My wife received this tip from one of the NASA gurus she works with. I thought it might be appropriate after the concern about the Publishers' Clearing House mailing: For those of us on the internet, it's just a matter of time before some enterprising person finds your email address, puts it into and electronic "bulk mailing list" and begins sending you stuff you may just prefer not reading! Besides, storage space allocated to your account at your friendly ISP is, after all, finite, and if you get too much mail...... Why, that message from the White House could just be rejected because your box is full! Some of the stuff has get-rich-quick offers. Some of the stuff has links to places whose names should not be mentioned in mixed company. All of this stuff is called "Spam". If you're interested in stopping or slowing down the Spammers, then you might be interested in a site containing a neat (for IBM-compatibles) application for combating Spam. It works with a variety of mail programs, the lates list of which is on the Web page. Try: http://www.compulink.co.uk/~net-services/spam/ As you can see from the URL, the site is in Merry Olde England, where the previous owners of the colonies have a "different" sense of humour. Have fun! Warren -- Warren D. Fisher fish@communique.net Registered Piano Technician Piano Technicians Guild New Orleans Chapter 701
