Elmer,

>My "wish list" message rule that I sent to MS and specified in message #738147 to keep the inbox free of unsolicited or unknown mail seems like a much simpler, more effective solution. I would guess that it would be a relatively simple implementation for MS to add to Outlook and OE that would make email maintenance so much easier and could prevent so much SPAM from irritating so many people.

You might want to post this in one of the OE newsgroups and let one of the OE MVPs pass this ER up to MS.
