Of course it depends on your email program ...

but with Eudora 5.2 in paid or sponsored (it's free but they sent you advertisments) you can set up regular expressions to filter email. I use a regexp to find any of the characters

±¤°í

anywhere in the headers or document

±¤°í

I have determined mean "advertisement"

there is another string that means "adult advertisment" which I do not filter.Wink

Also I setup a firewall (Norton's) which stops the emails from loading images from their websites, thus the spamers cannot confirm that you viewed the email. Since then I get fewer and fewer.
