Whatever is happening - all these ridiculous spam messages. I just mark
them as read but it is very annoying.

You notice the "senders" all start with "a", and totally different
addresses. Aggravating, you betcha!

They are everywhere, but that's good because they are in the process
of taking them out now.

They all come from an organization called usenetmonster (you can see it
if you expand the headers). They are being posted to nearly every
newsgroup (or usenet). I know there have been complaints sent, but I
don't think it will do much good, since I think it is a robot program
designed to spam newsgroups - just looking at the name 'usenet monster'.
The e-mails addresses showing are either fictitious or have been
stolen. Once they get through the 'a' list, we'll start seeing 'b'.
There are too many of them to create filters by address, but I'm
creating filters from the major subject (vacuums,etc.), which will get
rid of a few (admittedly a very few). Otherwise, I'm doing what Bruce
is doing - highlighting them as a group and marking them read.
