Hi Charles: I recently downloaded the free version of Eudora but did not like the add display in the lower right of the screen. I have been using Netscape 4.77 browser w/ mail but now I think I will switch to Internet Explorer 6.0 and run a separate e-mail client (presently I run the Netscape e-mail component). I tried outlook express but really did not like the "very tight" integration of the application. That Spam utility that Qwick mentioned sounds like a great filtering option. I downloaded it and maybe that will provide me the options I am looking for. By the way, any idea what e-mail clients SUNW (Solaris) systems support? Also, what is the preferred browser used on SUNW equipment? Is it possible that as "next generation" client software is developed (especially that produced by MS), SUNW server software/hardware may become less compatible? What prevents MS from building in background software routines in their OS that would "crash" the server or client machine if the OS determined that it was connected to a non-Microsoft OS? I suppose it is possible for MSFT (IMO has a monopoly on the PC OS) to incrementally do this. Something like heating water slowly until eventually the water is boiling and any living thing in that water is now dead. EKS
