Due to unfortunate circumstances beyond our control, many of you may be feeling the need to hit the delete key without investigating the contents of certain well defined messages. This is usually not necessary. If you are using Netscape Communicator you can find a "Message Filters" selection under the Edit menu item on your email client's main page. Similarly if you are using Outlook, the "Rules Wizard" is available from the Tools menu item (since you may not have used it before, you may need to click the button with the double down arrow to see it). Web based email services usually provide a filtering capability. Other email clients provide these services sometimes under the category of "kill list." For those of you in the academy, your IT department may be able to help. I hope this helps reduce everyone's stress level -- Ivan -- Ivan Handler Networking for Democracy [log in to unmask]
