    Hi Mark,

    Other than hunting down the spammers (haha), you can set up the junk filter on your email providers website for your account. This will act the same way as the junk filter on your computer, but you will need to check them at the website instead. Plus, you will constantly need to update you safe and blocked sender list.

    Good luck,
    Shawn

    Try logging into your mail on your ISP server site and set up some filters?
    http://www.orange.co.uk/

    Explore the possibilities?

    Log in there prior to opening WM for a while until you get topside of the
    spammers?

    No. Not unless your mail provider has a server-side spam filter
    that you can elect to use.

    FYI Gary, local knowledge UK, freeserve.co.uk became wanadoo.co.uk then
    orange.co.uk

    I still use fs accounts and access them via orange.

    You will see a lot of posts from orange etc users because their customer
    service leaves a little to be desired?

    I have enough trouble keeping up with just the big US ISPs.
    Good to have a UK expert around.
