 Fred,

The "spam filter" used by my ISP works on the principle
that most spammers trying to sell "male libido enhancers"
and other "krapp" do not use their correct Email address.
Therefore, if my ISP challenges the sender to confirm,
the sender never receives and of course does not confirm.).

The filter puts those messages in a seperate Email folder.
I review that folder daily and move any legitimate messages
I recognize to my legitimate Email folder. The others I 
can let remain and they will be automatically deleted after
5 days.
However, just the last 3 days, I have been unable to bring
up the spam folder so didn't see your message. If I had,
I would have transferred to the legitimate Email folder
and acted upon it. (I have multiple problems with my
computer at present!
Once I recover a legit message from the spam folder
and transfer it to the legitimate folder, that addressee
will no longer be suspect and will not be put in the
spam folder.
Sorry for the inconvenience Fred but I cannot do anything
to correct it now until I get my computer straightened out!
Take care,

Ken   N5CM
