I'd have no way of knowing myself. My hotmail account is my spam e-mail. I quickly learned that whenever you give some agency your e-mail, no matter how many boxes you check saying to leave you alone, you'll end up getting spam from someone. Miss Cleo knows my future several times a day. All sorts of people willing to loan me money. And the international executive guild registery wants me!

So I've basically deserted that account to spam. On an interesting side note-I've been working on a Java program that could quite easily be used to manufacture mass mailings. Feed it a template with special characters where it plugs in data from another file, names and addresses-and we actually test it on junk-mail letters. Yikes.
