It's a software thing. I use (and strongly recommend) AGENT. It has
"filters". both "save" and "Kill" filters.

If you use an on-line message service, you might ask their help desk
abut filtering out sick message sources.

Kill filters allow me to filter out (not download) messages based on a
variety of their parameters, including "sender", "from" and others.

I wish you luck. It's sad that there are mentally twisted people who
think it fun to annoy others. Mostly they are sociopaths who are so
desperate for recognition or attention, they are even glad to by loathed
by decent people.    

Best,

Nat

Seeing that Sherry uses Outlook Express I would recommend:

1. She highlights the message
2. Choose Message -> Block Sender ( from the menu )

She will never see another Tran message again .. However she will see posts by others
replying to his messages.

If you are using outlook express 5, open up the offending downloaded
post, select from your toolbar "message", then select "block sender"
which will automatically add to your blocked senders list.

if you wish to manually add the the address/domain, while not in the
message, go to "tools", then select Message Rules, then block senders
and type copy/paste or whatever, the address you wish to block...to
remove the address, do the same.

cheers,
Pru
