And maybe others like *.gif.* and *.jpg.* just to mention a couple |

It sends random documents from their computer, if you nosey (or want to know who they are) you can rename the file to a different extention, then open it in a texteditor, eg notepad to see some of whats attached. I just did a test with Eudora and it works. I set it to highlight (could be anything else) any messages that had '.doc.lnk' in the body of the message. So it should work on other programs that support filters. Unfortunatly I don't think you will be able to use the wildcards. |

| 17481 | 2001-08-23 15:56:00 | I should of said, is there a program that would delete these E-mails automatically as they are down loaded off Internet. And would our New Zealand Internet providers look at doing such measures to provide safer E-mail, are there any NZ ISP that do this already? | Guest (0) | ||
| 17482 | 2001-08-25 10:16:00 | There is a option(s) in Outlook Express under either Tools or Message to create mail rules, if this person is not known to you and the same would apply to spam mailers, in the first part which is already ticked by default, where the address is from, now go to the next section and there are a number of options one of which is Delete from server. Saves you time having to download the message. In the first section there are other options which includes attachments so you could set up a rule whereby mail from this address which has attachments is deleted from server. | Guest (0) | ||
