Oh, great!!! And to think that I *used* to respect Netscape.
Without going into a diatribe about how crappy AOL is (no offense, Wirt and
others), I find it hard to believe that a company as good as Netscape is going
to bed with a [expletive deleted] such as AOL. One of Netscape's best
offerings recently has been that of free email (bring your own ISP) and its
NetMail is a pretty good online mailer. Among its features is an anti-spam
filter that allows you to block any mail from a certain sender, ISP or even an
entire domain, if you wish. Guess who's the first entry in my anti-spam file?
You've got it -- anything from AOL!! Nobody that I correspond with uses AOL
as their ISP and most posts I've received from an AOL user (this group
excepted!) are trash.
I suppose that, if this deal goes through, I'll be forced to or AOL will
forcibly remove the @.AOL.COM spam filter from my account. I'm sure that AOL
won't continue to allow me to block the mail that accounts for most of their
business. Bummer!!
Oh, well! Back to detective work (or, why is my HP performing so poorly!).
