Hello Richard
WOOPS - services???-say no more ;-) ;-) - i just use to but 'objects &
things'
I have seen Mailwasher mentioned a few times - so do you recon its a good
thing to have as well as my ISP's own form of censorship for the spam?

I still get some spam, only because I have used my email address to
"apply" for a few services over the web. But I also use Mailwasher, which
catches 100% of it, before I ever download the valid emails to my
computer.

Hello Richard
Yes I know I have let the horse out of the stable - who doesnt.
But as yet, dare I say it, for the last 3 years of access to the net etc
I have not been the subject of getting 'spam'.
I know I will regret saying that!!
I see you use a simple form of 'mungle'(is that the term).
Has it worked for you then.
Or should I get more complicated as per advice from Vanguard.
I did use a mungled email address when in the MS Discussion groups,
before coming over to the newreader newsgroups system.

The thing is - you should do it to an email address "before" you ever
post to any forums. Your email address has already been harvested and
you will be getting a lot more spam.

Hello Ted
You were onto this one quick.
I would have replied as quick but the phone rang.
Thanks for the info - I thought it would be stupidly simple.
Funny you should ask though - yep I use O.E. ;-)
Thank you again - it is done.

P.S. I do keep trying - honest.

Depends on how you access newsgroups. For example, in Outlook Express
go to
Tools > Accounts > select your news account and click Properties >
General
tab (the first one) > E-mail address > type whatever you want.
