Did you note in the Junk Mail folder there's an item along the top that says

The problem with that is this "Mary Smith married James." Now is James

Well that makes a lot more sense (software for comparing files to see which

I will check the WUL group site if you wouldn't mind explaining it a bit more.
The problem with using "Unknown" , "UNKNOWN", or some other variation thereof
is one of language. To a non-English speaker it could be taken as a given
