[ale] Warning - spamed on Bellsouth.net

[Adrin]

One of the great feature I like is getting my email for a
web browser.
I can delete them by subject line before I even download or
read them if I like.

you can do this on Mindspring.  I am not calling them
earthlink either, by going to
www.springmail.com
