[VAN DELL JORDAN <vdjor AT yahoo.com>]

I've used Yahoo for my email for years.  I'd say it
has more than 95% accuracy separating junk from
regular email. for every 30 incoming I get maybe one
spam.  I spend a minute or so each day looking at the
junk folder and maybe on of every couple hundred
should have come to in box.  Usually a message coming
in from an alpaca group, though a couple of times they
sent something from Smithsonian to the junk mail
folder.
