There is some thing that I don't understand. Why would anyone keep every piece of mail that comes through? Especially junk mail. I know another person that has never deleted any e-mail. She actually got into a panic once when her computer died and she thought it was all gone. She was able to retrieve it from her old hard drive. If something important enough that I want to keep it comes through I print it off and save it that way. Most of that stuff is genealogy related so I can file in my cabinet. "Phishing" e-mails are not a "virus". Just a scam. They do nothing unless your stupid enough to click on the link and enter name and card number [ and such ]. If I'm bored I will sometimes play with them. Click the link and put in stuff like: "Name" - John E. Hoover "E-Mail Address" - [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get lots of "phishing" attacks. Mostly from someplace pretending to be eBay or Pay Pal. If you get one of these send it to "[EMAIL PROTECTED] or paypal.com". Whichever is appropriate. Believe it or not eBay goes after these people. Trys to get their ISP's to lock them out. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
