likely the reason both have become spammed is due to your email behavior. If you get emails from people that have long forwards on them with lots of email address on them and you continue the forwarding then your email address is going out to literally thousands of people and those kinds of emails are quite often started by the spammers so that they can collect all of those forwarded email addresses. Makes their job so easy. NEVER forward with addresses on the email, instead delete all email addresses and use the BCC feature anytime you are emailing to more than one person so that no addresses show. It is a very good idea to keep more than one email address, always use one of the freebie web emails for anything you do online, like sign up for forums, or freebies, etc then that one email addy will be the one that will be sacrificial and can expect to get all the spam, that is fine just delete the spam and go on. Keep your good email addy like the one from your isp for only business and important emailing. But if you do the forwarding thing and the people you email with also use the forwarding with out using the BCC feature then it really won't matter what you do your email addy will be spread and you will get spam. Spam should always be sent to the spam/ junk file and then emptied from there so that your spam filters can learn, never just delete it. Some email programs do allow you to block addresses but that does not help much because they have tons of variations on them, they have it down to art form. NEVER ever open a spam email they have code in them that sends back to the sender to let them know that is a good active address. Setting up specific spam filters in your email client can help.

When you first open your received email in WLM, up on the left side it says add contact. Click on that before it goes away. It goes away when your mail message is downloaded to read.

Boy, Leslie. I agree with those people on Photobucket's forum. Comparing the email's wording with what is actually happening makes the email very confusing and chastising. In case you haven't had a chance to read it yet, they're saying if you use the links that are provided by Photobucket (the ones under your pictures), your pics will be okay. However, if you have something posted on the web from several years (doesn't say how long ago), then they are old links and might not work because they were hosted by Photobucket's old servers they no longer use. Or.....if someone sees your pictures on the web and right clicks on them to get the URL and post elsewhere (bandwidth theft), then those pics will not show up as of March 24th because they were improperly linked. So no, you don't have to modify anything in your account. Only those links (to the actual posted pictures) that were posted many years ago and those that were posted using the picture's URL (by right clicking) will have to be corrected. If you posted anything like that on a forum like this one, where you cannot edit your posts, then those pics will cease to show and an error message (not a red x) will replace them.

This has turned out to be a very interesting thread. Who ever would have thought that someone would think about turning the boxes inside out? That kind of thinking boggles my mind! I need ONE Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box-O-FRB2 Format 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8". Don't know what I'd do with 9 extra. I called the PO to see if they have them so I could get it right away. The very pleasant clerk said after I put the items in the box, I would have to bring it there, and it would have to be inspected before they send it out. Have you heard of that, or was he joking? Surely if you give it to your mailman, he doesn't inspect it, does he? Sue
