Spam Mail

[DeZ]

Hi All

Wonder if anything can be done about this, I have had a lot of success with
blocking spam from my many e-mail addresses (both work and Personal) until
recently.
I am now receiving numerous e-mails a day with an embedded picture stating
to buy shares of some such company.
Is there a way to filter these pieces of crap mail or am I doomed? Am I
destined to set up new e-mail accounts?
I don't want to block all mail with embedded pictures as I receive a lot of
useful e-mails that have picture embedded in them.

Any help if this area would greatly be appreciated.

Regards

Ian.

Perhaps by writing some code for yourself it could be done, but Outlook
itself isn't very good at detecting those messages as spam.

I don't think Outlook is going to offer much in this area. I use
MailWasher Pro and while it involves an additional step and a little while
to learn the good from the bad, I find it effective and efficient.

Another that requires a "learning" process. It's free:

five of the share offerings appeared in the Junk Suspects folder, and 16 in
the Junk E-mail folder.
