Are implying that Agent users don't get spam?

get yourself a decent newsreader client for a start


her news reader is not the source of her problem.

then in the 'from' field put some thing like '
and in the reply-to field something like vickyversa at yahoo dot
co dot uk which a human can read (and edit) if they need to but a
machine won't recognize.

you MAY be able to do something similar with OE but I can't check as I
wont have that piece of crap on my machine. either way, it's way too
late for the address that's already been harvested.


She can always dump her current yahoo address and create a new one.
