Many mail programs will allow you to create rules so you can direct particular email addresses directly to a particular folder out of your inbox. If you wish you can just skim the subject of this folder to make sure it’s all junk and that is much easier than having a mix of junk and good mail. If you have Microsoft Outlook it is called Inbox assistant. In Lotus Notes it is called mail agent or something like that.

I thank you all for your advice. So much good stuff. I was gonna get on my elderly dad’s case until someone said to me, “Someday, when he’s gone, you’ll miss his daily offerings terribly.” That’s why I usually just delete his stuff without reading it and wading through the seemingly hundreds of other people who got the e-mail first. I do send him to urban legends sites when he sends me patently ridiculous info, and I ask him to forward the info to all his contacts. But I can’t understand people who are middle-aged like me, such as the woman in my original post, and relatively computer literate who still can’t get the CAN IT message. My 19-year-old NEVER sends me this junk…just asks for money, of course (tee-hee). Thanks again.

I thank you all for your advice. So much good stuff. I was gonna get on my elderly dad's case until someone said to me, "Someday, when he's gone, you'll miss his daily offerings terribly." That's why I usually just delete his stuff without reading it and wading through the seemingly hundreds of other people who got the e-mail first. I do send him to urban legends sites when he sends me patently ridiculous info, and I ask him to forward the info to all his contacts. But I can't understand people who are middle-aged like me, such as the woman in my original post, and relatively computer literate who still can't get the CAN IT message.

Maybe that's because your 19 year old is too busy trying to download porn and wouldn't want to accidentally forward any of it to you. Not to mention, those pay-per-view sites can really rack up expenses…….Just kidding. 🙂
