spam

Some people are awfully touchy. I don't mind helping, but no reason I should 
be asked to put up with this rudeness.

I expect spam is worse for the blind simply because I reckon I can read faster 
than you can. If I'm wrong, fine, but your little outburst doesn't help 
anyone. I can look at a list and spot the likely spam without conciously 
reading it.

And sure you can use procmail filters. I don't reckon my mother can though. 
I've used procmail filters for years, I've got quite a considerable 
collection of procmail filters. At best, I reckon they catch about half the 
spam.

In contrast, an email address that only accepts email from a limited number of 
addresses is quite difficult to spam. Unless you can create your own accounts 
at will on your own computer, then the only way you can have such an account 
is to buy one or use a free one.

Hotmail accounts aren't very good, I know places that unconditionally drop all 
mail from hotmail.com.

Please, no off-list mail. You will fall foul of my spam treatment.
