I see by the headers that you're posting through Google Groups. I
don't believe Google Groups filters SPAM. My newsserver does filter
out most SPAM, I never see it.

Get yourself a free newsreader, I use Thunderbird, and subscribe to
a free newsserver, I use news.eternal-september.org.


All good advice. I'd also suggest looking at Forte Agent/FreeAgent as a
newsreader. I cannot recommend one over the other, purely personal pref, but I
can strongly recommend _against_ any form of "Outlook" - the infamous "Lookout"
and "Lookout Distress" (Outlook Express). They aren't as bad as they once were,
but they aren't as safe and unbloated as others.
