Agreed Jim. I use my classicvw.org email for almost everything, and get NO/0/Nada spam thru that account. My mail server filters it all out. I have a couple other accounts, and I get 10-15 a day thru one that I don't use that much, and I am starting to get spam on my gmail account. I do not use MS products my self except at work. -- Russ Wolfe '71 FB AT '66 FB MT '64 T34 (not running) '65 T1 (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
