I recently upgraded to netscape 7.1 from 4.79. I too have cable modem, and use netscape as my mail server. 7.1 has a good spam filter that "learns" what is span (anything with viagara, d*ck, mortgage, etc goes automatically into my junk folder. I'd highly recommend upgrading to 7.1 it was seamless. larry

Now my next hope is that some here would have a suggestion on Spam Management. ... I'm currently getting over 100 unwanted and unsolicited messages per day.

I am in the same league. Currently I rely on the filtering capabilities of Webmail providers,
Yahoo! mail.yahoo.com
GMX gmx.de
FreeMail freemail.de
They all do a decent job.

You can also use an email account by a company specialized on spam fighting, SpamCop ($30/year):
mail.spamcop.net
You can either continue to use your old address or switch to a new one.

For posting on Usenet or other very public places I like SpamGourmet. This free service offers self-disposable email addresses.
