Judy,
My server has a filter that my email goes through. I get 1 or 2 pieces of
spam per day, max. I would try to find the name of the program, but I guess
it is a program that would have to be implemented by your server?

<:)Subject: "Alt" in subject line?

<:)
<:)To the list:

<:)I'm wondering if others are having the spam flood that I am.
<:)Yes, I admit,
<:)not two months ago I wrote that I didn't mind spam, because that
<:)was stuff
<:)I didn't have to read... but since then it's increased about 5 fold.
<:)Today, for instance, 58 spam, two personal, and maybe 5 from the list. I
<:)find that as I go down the line and delete en masse, it's easy to delete,
<:)say "Amodol," or something else from a name not known -- in error.
<:)Spammers have gotten much more inventive and plausible in subject lines.
<:)
<:)There may be help in future legislation -- or not. But meanwhile, I'm
<:)wondering if we could add something to the alt photo subject line to make
<:)it easy to pick out. The History of Photography list, for
<:)instance, has a
<:)subject ID (though I hardly get Spam on that server).
<:)
<:)Perhaps it's even possible for the listserve to put something in subject
<:)line automatically.
<:)
<:)Any thoughts pro or con?
<:)
<:)Judy
