Re: [Killietalk] Help (Thunderbird)

[Stuart R Scott <sscott255 at comcast_net>]

Al, I have to agree with Wright about Thunderbird. It's a great program 
that has it's own "self learning" spam filter built in that saves the 
spam in a separate folder that you can review before deleting. You still 
have a "delete" folder for the messages you delete that you can review 
before dumping. In the spam folder, if you find a message from 
someone(group) you want to save, you just check off "No Junk" for that 
message and it will not delete it again.

It also has a great filtering system to allow all of the Killietalk 
messages to go into one folder so that your inbox doesn't get clogged 
up. I've been using Thunderbird and Firefox for about 2 years and am 
very satisfied with the results.  Best of all, they are free and very 
bug free.

Take Care...Scotty
