: You can't always block an email, but there are a couple of things you can do!
: 1)If using Netscape or Explorer for email. Don't. Particularly w/Netscape, you can't stop it from opening the mail once you click on it. Try switching to Pegasus (easily found), IMHO the best mail program out there. Pegasus doesn't open a message unless you click on the header AND it has filtering capabilities, so you can set it to determine what to delete before you even have to think about opening it. Of course, if your new best friend changes his domain name or provider, the filter may fail.
: 2)You CAN complain to the his ISP. Email to postmaster@(his ISP).com and flame the guy to death, threaten w/legal action, be a real nuisance (after all, your the one being harassed). They know who he is.
: I hope this helps.
: - woof
Woof and meow (from AJ)! Anyhow, I don't want that stupid popmail and new to come up when I load my netscape. Do you know how to get rid of it? thanks. Anarchy in the USA!
