Highlight them, and then hold down shift, and hit the Delete key...

JC those are sent by evil companies and ad people that mass send e-mails...spyware don't work on them. the only way to keep from getting e-mails from them is to have a spam blocker that will not allow an email from the sending address.

They aren't sent emails from an outside source, they are generated by a virus in his computer. at least I think that's what he means. We all know what junk mail is. It's only about 5 minutes younger than the intarweb.

Ya exactly. I can't change the e-mail address anyway as it's the company's and we have to give it out to advertisers.
