It was a kind of awkward (maybe understatement) reply when someone complimented me. I thought I needed to return it but couldn't think of anything else.

Still likely better than "Cool Mustache. Who's that? It's my mom...".

I don't like sugar in my tea, so I use honey. It doesn't have that annoying sharp-sweet taste as sugar, but much milder. I should be good until next summer. :smile:

But in my experience honey does not meet easily into drinks. I can only taste it in the last sip.

I deleted around 1,000 emails today. I have deleted similar amounts a good number of times. But I still have some 20,000 messages in my inbox. And that is just for a single account.

Maybe you should just create a junk mail filter and let it deal with the spam?

Hotmail has one (Kind if embarrassed to admit I use it) byt it is if poor quality and I don't think I can train it nor does it train itself using my input: Ii move messages from the same source into spam repeatedly nut Hotmail keeps accepting messages from the same source. I remove some from spam folder into regular mail yet Hotmail keeps sending them to spam. Is there a way of training it?
