As I use Netscape Mail, does anyone know how to do the above with my
mail programme, I can find no "block sender" function, but only a
filter facility which still means I have to download the dross before
it would be auto-deleted?

2nd question, when you do "block sender" what does the sender see at
his end? Does he get a bounce message (that would be most satisfying
since the moron would then have to download it) or does that email
just evaporate in cyberspace?

There are a couple of spamming morons I would love
to block, I am getting rather tired of dodgy "get rich quick schemes"
appearing continually in my mail, especially a certain one from
Nigeria.

Off list replies would probably be best as this is all off topic.

Compulsory MV content, er um............. I use my email for MV
chat and the above questions are an attempt to preserve it for that
purpose. (Weak effort if ever there was one huh?)

Thanks.

Regards
Doug
