I get lots of spam in my yahoo email, which is where the TB templates come in handy. I realize spamcop doesn't reduce the spam, but when you are talking about a free account, I just live with it.

Earthlink lets you turn on the filters if you want them, another nice option. I remember when I had a free netzero account, I was getting spam before I ever sent out the first email!! -- Paul Using The Bat! v1.62/Beta5 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
