Me either. I use the web interface for lugnet, and q'r'us (is the only mailing
list I'm on... I hope Matthew doesn't give my addy to third-parties :-)

Now that hotmail added the "Bulk-mail" feature, it's so much easier for me to
avoid the spam. Right now it's still annoying but I'm gonna wait another month
before I make the settings direct the "Bulk-mail" straight to the trash can.
(Basically the feature directs any mail that doesn't have your address in the
headline into a "Bulk-mail" folder, where you can later scan thru it and
decide whether to throw it out or not. Letters in there will expire after a
month if left untouched.)
