Hi Daniel,

  To escape from e-mail that insists on dialing up my ISP and sending me to
some URL on the Web, I press <Escape> and I alt-tab to get back to Outlook
Express.  Then I press delete to get rid of the offending message.

  Some more <Escape>s and <Deletes> may be necessary       to eliminate the
last remnants of the offending message.

  Our ISPs should discard such messages before delivering them!
