Here's how I do it. My Browser is Netscape, and the only time I use it for
mail is when I post to newsgropus (mostly this one). I have a signature
file (in preferences, you have the option of choosing a text document as
a signature file) that you see below. Under the identity information in
the preferences, I list my spam-free address that you see above.
By the way, I am not spam free on my main account, even with
these precautions.
What I don't understand is that anybody BUYS that stuff, thus making
spamming worthwhile.
