OE 6 'Spam'
You can /filter in/ your mail, or live with what you see. I believe they are
from Asia, but would have to check the message headers to be sure. I just delete stuff like that, but there are some other options using OE, but far from perfect.

You're welcome. They may well stop after awhile. Hopefully, they will.

OE 6 'Spam'
They get e-mail addresses a variety of ways.
One way is to infect a PC with a Trojan horse (virus). Some of these scan the hard disk for anything that looks like an e-mail addresses. If you've posted to a newsgroup with your real e-mail address and anyone who has read your post (or just downloaded the headers) gets infected with one of these Trojans, then your e-mail address will be harvested. The same can happen if anyone you have given your e-mail address to sent an e-mail to gets infected with one of these Trojans. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Peter C" wrote in message ups.com...

Peter. They do harvest e-mail addresses from newsgroups, as well as many other places. It is really too late now, but you don't have to use your real address in most newsgroups.
