Good morning People , White rabbits and all that. Now I have a teaser for you. We keep getting emails about software. Always start the same way HI and then a differant name each time. Is there any way we can stop these annoying people getting through. Julia

You can click on messages on the toolbar on Outlook Express - scroll down to "Block message". When you highlight the unwanted post and click on this it deletes the message(s) and blocks future ones from that sender. Trouble is I get lots from different senders, and very annoyingly some blank ones with no message, no heading, no sender. I just delete these straightaway. Helen
