Hotmail thinks everything from the list is spam and puts it in "Junk mail" away from mthe inbox (which has all my spam). Works great, and when you finish reading the messages you want, you can just click "empty folder". Just never, ever click on a banner or popup window. It would be like writing a check to the al Qaeda. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
