[Elecraft] More AOL Woes (Everyone Please Read)]

The spam button in question is on the later AOL 9.0 and is marked "Report  
Spam". Unfortunately as reported it is adjacent to the "Delete" button.
 
The amount of spam arriving in my mailbox is down to a few e-mails per day  
plus another small percentage goes direct to a spam folder. The action of  
designating a message as "Report Spam" has the effect of sending it to the spam  
folder. Even at that point it can be restored back to the mailbox by 
designating  as "this is not spam" which restores it for reading. With this in mind the 
only  point that it could be reported to AOL is when the spam designated 
messages are  deleted from the spam folder which I do every few days. In other 
words it would  possibly take two separate actions to make the mud stick.
 
Looks like another try is needed with AOL to resolve the  matter with them as 
there is little the list can do to protect itself from the  occasional moron 
with a loaded PC and a mouse.
