| | Re: How to block sender - newsgroups You now have to create a rule - it works, it just sucks. Oh, and then APPLY the rule to the existing folder... Really, Windows Mail looks like crippleware, designed to suck just enough to get you to want to go schlep out for Outlook 2007.

Nope, you still get to use Windows Mail for that... You know, I'm in the tech field and it takes some doing to explain why I kept using OE for Mail and News, and my argument to them was, it just works, well. Well, not so much anymore... Venger |
