          I dont know how comfortable are you with spam filters, i hate these spams, but once long back when i had spam filters running, a very important mail was send to junk mail folder and i noticed it only after the due date that the mail mentioned about. Luckly it was was not a big problem. After that i never relied on spam filters much.

            I did once. It said something like:

            Chopped port should meat with ham meat added
            Salt
            Water
            Sugar
            Sodium Nitrite

                That is meant to muck of Bayesan filters, which work by looking at word frequencies. The goal, I guess, is to make the filter see lots of garbage words and mess up its statistics that it uses to filter. --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ ---- Laugh it up, fuzzball.

                    My latest favourite spam is the type which puts a paragraph from the Bible or other ancient texts in the begining. Some mention slavery, adultery and how I am going to burn in hell (like I don't already know that, thanks). I just got: If he perform a serious operation on an ass or ox, and kill it, he shall pay the owner one-fourth of its value. Expensive being a vet in the old days eh? regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Christopher Duncan quoted: "...that would require my explaining Einstein's Fear of Relatives" Crikey! ain't life grand? Einstein says...

                      You forgot the Modified Potato Starch - very important! I have to wonder about that "modified" part. Just how did they modify it? Chew it up and spit it back? Deep fried it in bear grease and backed over the crunchy bits with a truck? Or merely bombarded it with neutrons for half an hour? I've felt much better since I gave up hope.
