[HUGH MCINTYRE]

My wife regularly gets e-mails from the secretary of her curling club copied 
to, at a guess, 20 or 30 others.  Not only that, before we get scrolled down 
to the message it is necessary to wade through much the same for all of up 
to 3 or 4 covering e-mails from people up/down the chain, each of them 
copied to similar numbers. On one occasion the message at the bottom was a 
change to a phone number for a lady we'd never heard of.  These always get 
through, but BT-Yahoo (my ISP) will stop an unassuming e-mail on the grounds 
it thinks it Spam.  Yesterday, I found such a one in my BT-Yahoo Inbox while 
looking into another matter entirely, and it was indeed Spam, but I had not 
been informed that it was stopped and still sitting there awaiting the 
expiry of its short stay of execution. The other matter I referred to was an 
e-mail from BT-Yahoo telling me they had removed an attachment containing a 
(named) virus from a message directed to me. I found that message, sans 
attachment, sitting alongside the other on the BT-Yahoo page - it had not 
been transmitted to me. I get my internet via BT-Yahoo, but I use Outlook 
Express for e-mails and, until yesterday, I'd assumed both it and BT-Yahoo 
had been set not to interfere with mail or make judgements on it - that task 
is carried out efficiently by MailWasher. Clearly I'll have to look into the 
settings.

Hugh.
