Ah, heck!

If you don't do anything to directed stop spam (like me) you really don't
get that much.

I just use the FREE outlook express.   Most of my EXPECTED mail is sorted
and goes into nice little boxes where I read it according to my own
priorities.   Mail with unexpected attachments  gets its own special place
where I can check it out without accidentally opening the attachment.

Most of the rest I quickly delete (with the exception of Chinese Language
Span which causes OE to ask me about "Chinese Language" support.)

And just like junk snail mail, some of the "junk" e-mail is interesting!

Rather than try to identify spam, I let it accumulate in the in box.
