Thanks PP. Well, it's a start and better than nothing but the long-term permanent solution is going to be prevention of this rubbish before it is created, not retribution afterwards.

That will, inevitably, lead to some loss of freedom and increase in costs to all of us; including the spammers themselves.

I've got to the point where, if I check e-mail and don't get at least 5, and sometimes 20 spam rubbish messages then I begin to wonder if my equipment is performing properly. (If you know what I mean! )

So it is a kind of diagnostic tool.
