been getting thousands of emails for viagra meds and similar, very rude sometimes i never open them but they are a pain.

If anyone knows of a way to rid my mail box of these would be very grateful.

Yep me too even getting them in Turkish as well now, seems as if people enquired about certain products (naw not that you cynics) the mail list was sold on to other pharmaceuticals coys not all reputable ones

If you switch to a webmail email provider like yahoo or gmail them automatically move them to your spam folder. A few years ago I had a little prog on my computer that was automatically updated every few mins and it would do the same thing but I can't remember the name of it unfortunately :-(

as a matter of interest how do you all get your email? Is it thru your ISP to Outlook (for example)?

Hotmail is full of junk where as Yahoo does not allow any. My experience anyway.
