I take it AOL and WebTv don't have spam filters. Using one on my Yahoo account (a free Yahoo
feature), 95% of that junk goes straight to a "bulk" folder, with maybe one or two sneaking into
my "in" box every now & then. Far from disruptive. I have yet to find something important
shunted to the bulk folder by mistake. Hotmail has the same sort of thing.
