I have my email client set not to display html so i am assuming that the gif which is apparently attached may contain something malicious?. I now get loads of these and it curious how many ntl subscribers are in the cc list.
Heres another strange example...

"I... I enjoy speed," Jonathan said, taken aback but proud that the
The Sony VAIO S Series notebook is designed to provide mobility via light-weight, excellent battery life and small footprint area. Mobility often means a user must sacrifice performance and extra features, but the Sony VAIO S260 proves this doesn't have to be the case. Following is a full review of the 13.3" XBrite screen VAIO S260 and an analysis of why this notebook is well worth looking at and considering.
The charcoal grey and silver accent look really is great. It's an industrial and muscular design, which works well for a business notebook. Such qualities equate to confidence and will reflect well upon you while landing that important sales deal as you present Powerpoint slides to your prospective clients!

The strange thing about this one is that no where in it can i see my email address unless ive missed it so how did it end up in my in tray???
Can /Will NTL do something to combat this rubbish? Its costing time and money and infrastructure to ship this rubbish around.
Meanwhile,,does anyone know of an email client which will allow me to just download the from/subject header and leave the rest on the server so that i dont spend time downloading rubbish? Ideally i would like to be able to read yahoo/hotmail accounts also. I dont need spam killers etc becuase most of them seem to need you do download the full junk messages then have it filtered off to a separate folder. My need is to quickly download the header/bare minimum to identify it as rubbish then leave it on the server or auto delete it from the sever.
Thank s for all advice/input,,
joe
