Sorry for not proof reading well enough... I have tried to correct it in 
this resend...


One of the things many of us have that some do not, is a high speed 
connection; to those that are bound to a phone line and modem, wasting 
time just for downloading  SPAM is irritating enough. Add to that the 
rest of the reasons why SPAM is illegal, and you have more irritation 
that those who have a high bandwidth connection _*endure. *_

While an IMAP account might be better than the old POP3 in this respect, 
most ISPs that offer modem lines do not offer *_IMAP _* leaving the 
folks on low bandwidth connections trapped into wasting time downloading 
stuff they are uninterested in rather than just the headers and making 
"delete" decisions at that point.

Perhaps we can accept this irritation as "reasonable" for some people to 
feel?  I do...
