hi gottfried "Going after them is a wild goose chase" oh, i wasn't even considering going after them. just hoping on an outside chance to find a common denominator. like if two or three people found they were being spammed from the same address, and they were all receiving a particular newsletter or had downloaded a particular vendor's trialware, etc. then perhaps a more effective action could be taken (like unsubscribing). i know it is a modern day curse. i've found that one of the most effective actions one can possibly take is to not open the spam. i believe that if i ever started opening these spams i'm getting, that the floodgates would open up. :) mark
