I have yet to find a way to get rid of all the junk mail we get on
this list. There is more trash than appropriate messages, and I find
I don't have the time to wade through the filth and junk to get to the
sewing stuff. So I won't be around for a while, until the jerks
either go back to school, or someone filters them out.

Teri, alt.sewing is not a "list" and it's also not e-mail.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USENET
Complain to gmail (google.com), maybe they will be able to
filter more of the stuff out for you.
I use motzarella.com for my newsreader, and see almost none
of it. The few which do slip through are easily dealt with
using the block list and filtering capabilities of Outlook
Express.

It is so much better to use a newsreader to access USENET than it is to
go through a web portal like Google. Try it, and you'll see. You'll
never willingly go back.

Dear Beverly,
Olwyn Mary wrote to me and helped me to get signed up for Motzarella.
Well, I'm signed up now, but still have not been able to filter out
all the junk. I don't see a way to do it. And my computer speak is
about as illiterate as foreign language. This is a Newsgroup? I know
it's not e-mail. Whatever, I get more junk than I do sewing related
stuff. If Motzarella is not my answer, I guess I'll just not come
back for a while.
Teri

Motzarella is not anyone's answer, because the
free news servers do not filter out the crap.
I used this one for years, it's $5.00 a year, and
worth it. It DOES filter out the crap.
