I guess that's my problem... I never used to notice the spam nearly so
much because my provider filtered some of it out... but the one I use
now is totally unfiltered so it all comes pouring in and if I want to
get rid of it I have to do it one header at a time. Needless to say,
it's driving me to distraction!
