Well, AOL is still the #1 ISP and their mail program doesn't filter to mail boxes. AOL users also get more SPAM than others. SPAMers try to make their mail look like its coming from a real person with real subject lines. Its too easy to sit there and click the DELETE button to kill the spam and nail real messages. Thats why a subject tag is a good idea, the messages stand out from the pack of SPAM. I've got an AOL account that I rarely use, but I get about twice the number of SPAM messages there per day than I do on my active email addressees. Digests are good for reading, but terrible for replying. >I dunno exactly why you trash any messages. Once in awhile I archive >older ones, but I never trash any. Sometimes I actually use them for >reference :-) I keep important messages, but all the "Way to Go" messages don't need saved. I keep maybe one or two PF messages a week.
