Which email is spam or which is good is why I dont open my inbox and read every email I get.Only those from people I know and even those I dont open all.

There are many that I just delete without looking at them. At least half I get are spam. And that is even with quite a few filters set on the email.

All my spam gets filtered as BULK email, and it automatically goes into my DELETE folder...so i never ever have to read it.

Even though my spamfilter says it's 'very low' I never get any spam. Maybe spammers just hate me (could it be?) or it has something to do with the new rules the goverment came up with a year ago.

Just get a good email client (or webmail service) that has a SPAM filter. I get very little spam in any of my email inboxes.

Same here.

Although, occasionally(maybe once a month) I get bored enough to read a few of them. They are quite funny. :lol:

Does anyone get these e-mails with the obscure subject lines mentioning "hot" stock? The stock information is in a graphic (so it is unlikely you can get your spam filter to pick it up all the time) with non-sense text below it.

That gets me :mad: and saying words that would probably get me banned on this message board. :eek:
