since i've had my dot mac (i dunno why, i just type it like that), for
about 4 days short of a year (time to pay up again, grrr), i have
gotten enough spam emails that i could count them on one hand.
one thing that I realized was that since Mail uses the Safari engine
now, and renders HTML (i know it did before, it was just after that I
heard this that I realized the following), I have turned the option to
display images off. So any spam I *do* get can't pull a remote image
that verifies my email address when i view it..
i don't even use mail.app's junk filer because i don't get enough junk
mail.
its really great, i love it!
