If you send something that is this funny, Jeff, you ought to put a 
smiley face to show your humor!  Otherwise, we might think you weren't 
laughing when your wrote it! :-)

I am still laughing....


My question about the email is if you disable images, Javascript, and 
html in email then would the link even work?  Anyone using a client that 
won't do that kind of config for email will just suffer.  I have turned 
on the ultimate spam stuff that Earthlink offers and configured my 
online address book at Earthlink with the addresses and domains I get 
email from regularly.  Anything else is held until I look at it and 
decide if it is spam or not.  It is working great and when I POP the 
mail to home, I only get what I really want.  Earthlink will always 
allow their billing email thru, but the spam forms won't get thru.
