About deleting junk mail w/o opening it. I saw your note on that earlier, and am trying it, but I have a question about it. You know how when an incoming em is highlighted in the inbox, and you haven't double clicked to officially open it up but it does show anyway in the narrow window at the bottom?

I think i didn't explain that clearly, but do you know what i mean? |
