Re: [Digital BW] Apology - Slightly OT

Alan,

It is a common problem nowadays, unfortunately. When my ISP started 
filtering spam out, I thought 'Great'. The I realised that it also filtered 
out quite a lot of real messages, and no amount of telling them what was 
real and what wasn't cured this.

So, now I take all the emails, spam and real, and filter them with my own 
rules in OE, dumping the spam straight into the Deleted folder. BUT, and 
this is the important bit, I ALWAYS have a quick look through the titles in 
the Deleted folder before reading any emails, and quite often even my spam 
rules have taken out a real message.

I have since found out that Joe and his business associate did, in fact, 
respond to me in a very timely manner, but our spam filter blocked all three 
messages.
