Hi,

I guess like most people I am ever getting an increasing
large amount of spam. I have use the Message Rules for
Subject & Message content to reduce a large proportion
(use keywords like viagra, loan, sex etc).

It would be great if Outlook Express could enhance its
features to reduce spam further.

i) Be able to auto delete emails that just contain
pictures (GIFs)

How does one suggest this to microsoft ?
Can this be done already ?
Does anyone know of free de-spammers available on the net ?

Regards

Ian

Yes. Why when you can use the products below. Modifying spam filters
yourself is a loosing battle.

In Outlook Express, Help | Microsoft on the Web | Send Feedback.
They DO read all of these, but don't expect a reply.
