If the onslaught of Recipe Day messages irks you, most e-mail programs have a
filtering feature. In Outlook Web Access it is called Rules. You can quickly
configure it to look for key words in any field of an incoming message and send
them to different folders. For instance, I have all of my LM_NET messages directed
to an LM_NET folder so that when I hit a couples of days where I don't have time to
go though 100s of messages I can (GASP!) mass-delete them.
For Recipe Day I would suggest a filter/rule that looks for the word Recipe in the
subject line and directs the messages to a folder named "Those %^&#!&*& Recipes".
Then you can delete entire folder at your leisure.
Just a thought,
Tony
