Use a mail program that doesnt make deleting a message, read or otherwise, an act of gymnastics.. Accept that if you do anything other that mail your mom, and she NEVER sends you and e-greeting, etc., that you will get spam... Never do business with a spammer..=20 Press delete, and get over it.. Its just spam..
