I guess it has been at least 15 years of regularly using e mail and it's hard to remember what it was like before this capability. So noodling around one of my (aol) email accounts I see that I have a spam folder.. Well, I knew it was there but I never was alerted to mail being in there so for the hell of it I checked..Yup, it was loaded with messages. I guess some magic formula lets aol categorize mail as spam. I wonder what their criteria is?
There were a number of non-spam emails in there. This could solve the mystery of unreceived e mails.. "hey, didn't you get my e-mail?" <---- ever heard this? I guess it may be based on the subject line and many of them are clearly spamish..Mexican pharmacy, lower loan rates, Viagra for $1 each, Nigerian financial scams and so on. I wonder if any of my outgoing mails wound up in spam folders.. Maybe I will experiment (I have the time) and wind up on Oprah's special e mail show....ahhhh, what a dream. I guess I should have taken my technical advisor's (son) advice and use my G-mail address. Maybe I will write him (if he's not reading this) ..
