Some can only be identified by downloading them first. The obvious SPAM doesn't bother me as much as the SPAM surprise. From now on, on those occasions when I open something that doesn't look obviously SPAMMY and find it is, I will post this in a reply which calls a SPAM a SPAM. If everyone took the time to do this maybe a few of the spammers would give up. Bill Davis 20OCT96
