Nancy I wouldn't mind if they gave me a choice. I am not the one with the program, they are, so they make the choice of what to delete before I see it. That's what I'm angry about. There are federal and state laws against spam, but I haven't found any that protect us from our isp. Unfortunately covad is the only dsl provider in my area. I will just be changing my email to another provider I am with, and letting EVERYONE know about this. If enough covad customers get wind of what is going on I think there will ba a change in policy. 8^) Marque
