Hi Lou,
One thing a person can do is create a message filter. I created a
specific filter that sent most of the messages from Simon directly to the
deleted items folder. In out look express one can create message rules that
filter out messages with specific offensive words. I might start on that
project next.
God bless,
Mark WZ0K
God loves you!
