I tried that, but filtered them all into trash, Netscape sucks though, as I found about 40 genuine emails in the trash.

Yeah

I get random adverts like "Add 5 metres to your manhood! Honest!" and "Gone soft? Buy Instahard!". The trick is to place genuine e-mails into a different folder and then click on the box to highlight all (I usually get about 50 per week), then click Block. After a while, there'll be no more random e-mails or adverts!

The teenfarm one? That's keeps appearing... I also get the 256kb emails with nowt in stupid huh?

Or for those without the gaming knoledge, use some common sense - why would ANYONE sign up to a KOF newsletter?? Gotta be phoney.

Of course the other big giveaway is the fact that King Of Fighters was made by SNK, a company that is now bankrupt.

Most of the e-mails I get are 128k, and have nothing in them.

Or they're called, "i have good news for you coolio_santos@..."
