Easy To Use NEVER Worry About SPAM Again ~ No Filtering Knowledge Required Automatically Reject Email Worms And Viruses Do you want to find out who has been adding your address to SPAM lists? Would you like to remove YOURSELF from OPT lists once and for all and never again worry about giving people your email address? SPAM-STOPPER GIVES YOU COMPLETE CONTROL Over Your Email Address! Why Spam-Stopper Works Spam-Stopper will create a virtual domain that automatically receives ALL email sent to it. Spam-Stopper then gives you the ability to stop taking incoming email to any address of your choice! When someone asks you for your email address, you can pull one out of your mind! Make it up on the spot! There is no special configuration needed to give out a new email address, because ALL incoming email for the virtual domain is secretly forwarded directly to your default email address. Your real email address is hidden from the sender. If you start getting SPAM at one of the addresses that you gave out, you simply turn off that email address from our members section web page. This will stop all future SPAM sent to that individual virtual address. You will now also know which company or person sold your email address. If you choose to, you can send an email letting them know that you did not appreciate it. ++ ____________________________________________________________ TextColorizer ~ free http://www.chamisplace.com/tc/ Looking for ways to add cool effects to your web pages?

FP02 will open the ASP page in Normal View, whether or not the ASP code violates convention (such as multiple <head>, or <body> tags). You can open ASP files from: File | Open | location or URL and view it in Normal View for editing.

This program also has an HTML skeleton. This is the basic outline for HTML code, so all you have to do is enter the appropriate information.Some of these advanced and basic options include: Edit multiple files at once Word count by one or five words Word wrap Web-ready code Stays minimized Time and date inserts Also, if you plan on leaving your computer, you can lock the program. ~~~~~~~ Easy menu Access Just about all Windows programs have some kind of menu appearing at the top of the screen. And just about every menu lists File as its first selection. If you look at the menus in your programs, you'll notice the titles have an underlined letter. This is typically the first letter, but not always. This is not a programmer's design flaw. When you see an underlined letter in a menu title, it's an indication you can open that menu by merely pressing your keyboard's Alt key then the underlined letter, instead of sliding your mouse up to the menu. Also, have a look in the menus. To the right of some entries, you'll see a keyboard command. For those who like to keep their hands on the keyboard and off the mouse, these keyboard shortcuts are a real timesaver. Was this forwarded to you ?
