A practical suggestion to a silly problem: If there is someone cluttering up your email or just annoying you by showing up there, here's a easy way to rid yourself of this trash. In Netscape: [Assign the sender's email to the Trash folder.] 1. Copy the email address of sender (from the From: line), for example "Dhorowitz@earthlink.net" 2. Select the menu item Edit, then Message Filters. 3. Click on the New button, title it anything you want, then in the 2nd field which should be showing "subject", click on the down arrow and choose "sender." 4. Now, leave the next field as "contains" and go to the third field which should be blank. Click in that field and paste the copied address of the sender. You can do this by right clicking and choosing Paste or hitting the Ctrl-V keys. 5. Now go to the fith field which should be showing the "Inbox" and click on the down arrow and slide the scroll bar down until you find "Trash." Select Trash. 6. Click on the OK button and then the next OK button. Now, whenever email comes into your computer, this sender will just disappear into the trash! For those using MS Explorer, maybe somebody else can comment. I stay away from Bill's portal as much as I can. AOL has a blocking function that should work. Walter Teague
