That's a good point. I had to train Gmail for about a month because one mailing list in particular would wind up in spam a lot. But after a month, the error rate dropped to almost zero. Still, privacy is an issue. As I said, my trust for Google dropped to zero overnight. --- This is coming from Mail.app. I hate the new Gmail web look, and dislike Mail only slightly less. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
