[OT] There are times when I really hate email :-(

Aaaarrgghh !!!!

<RANT>
Bloody "SP"iced h"AM" and anti infection software.

I wonder when there will be a means of killing all the crap email without
losing legitimate messages. You cant even use the "proper" words
to describe
what you are talking about in case they trigger filters and get trapped.

Over the last few days I have become aware that I have not received some
emails sent to me and also that some email I have sent never arrived.

As a means of trying to prevent loss of important mail I changed setting so
that crud DIDNT get deleted and having just checked the crud folder I found
several messages from this list and UK_Selfbuild that were tagged as
{Definately ProprietryTinnedMeatProduct} for absolutely no apparent reason
I
could see and they were all from regular posters from whom I have seen
other
messages successfully delivered.

I also found loads of undeliverable messages where my domain has been
spoofed to bombard Clipsal with messages so its just as well I dont need to
email them because the chances of me getting through now are probably nil
:-(

The final straw was last night after McAfee Firewall updated itself and
then
decided to alert me to the fact that he last few emails had all had the
same
subject and I could possibly have a viral infection.

OF COURSE THEY HAD THE SAME SUBJECT....
...I WAS HAVING AN EMAIL CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE!!!!

I feel calmer now.
