Hi Helen,

  My suggestion:  check the preference settings on your mail program.  If your program is downloading every message to your machine before you can access anything, that probably can be changed.  The programs I use have a "leave message on server" toggle.  Also, you can, on most if not all programs, set an upper limit on how big messages can be before it'll accept & download them.  


  I still work at home on a dialup, and some of my colleages persist in sending huge files to me that gum up the works.  So I just set my home preferences to not accept any message bigger than 200K.   Those that look legit I can download later at the office.  Or, if they look viral, I can delete at home without downloading.


  It's amazing how big some MS Word files can be, when people get creative with html, color fonts, etc.  Bloatware, as someone called it. . . .

      They're baaaack. 

      Does anyone have a way to get rid of these messages  without putting new-poetry in the spam list?

      There are about a dozen messages from new poetry and they each have pictures (could this be related to 
      the Russian teenage virgin messages I've been getting?)  Those Russians, busy, busy, busy. 

      The messages take forever to download and yes, I can delete them, but . . . .j

      And they recycle, ever day - if I miss a day checking emial I get two sets.  It takes 20 min. to download the email.

      Help, computer gurus.

      I can forward them if you'd like to see one.
