I think you're right on most accounts. One deal here though, and it reguards spam more so than a garbage OS. I did get one message earlier this week about "Your details" - only one. However, I get routinely several messages a week with these damn African money laundering scams. Again, nothing to do with a bad OS and all that but sure has to do with aggressive e-mail filtering. When you get your filter going pretty well, then some joker comes along and deliberately inserts junk into the subject line so the subject line based filters break down. <sigh>
