blocking junk email

Sometimes I get 6 or 8 junk emails in my inbox. It would be very convenient
to be able to select them all and then send their domains to the blocked
senders list. As it is, you can only do this to one mail at a time. Is there
a way to do this to a group of them at once? Is anyone from Microsoft mail
reading this? Suggestion - suggestion

As far as I can tell, no one from Microsoft is still reading this newsgroup.
Also, Microsoft is now putting most of their email program effort toward
their newer email program, Windows Live Mail, instead of Windows Mail.
However, you should at least get someone from Microsoft to read what
you suggest, although probably not answer it, if you tell them at:

Re: blocking junk email

Using the blocked senders list for typical spam is an exercise
in futility. Spammers seldom use the same return address twice.
Blocked Senders is meant to be used for those rare occasions
where someone is hounding you. So, what you suggest is not
really appropriate, which is (I assume) why Microsoft did not
include it.
