Hi LE, The privacy is a tab in advanced internet options.

If your spam is blocked by your ISP then it is done on the server before it ever gets to you. I personally never use spam filtering, either from my ISP or on my mailer. The reason is that when I did a few years back, when I had a ridiculously bad spam problem, I ended up sifting through the filtered messages anyway to be sure nothing important got clobbered, and so if I have to do that anyway, why filter at all? But now that I've dumped that account and gotten a new one, I have had very little problem with spam, mainly because I have learned (after that experience) not to share my email indiscriminantly, and also if you get a spam, never reply to it, even to unsubscribe, as that only tells them they have a live reader and will result in more spam. It has paid off -- I've had this account for almost 18 months now with very little spam. But I'll have to try unblocking web pages as I've discovered aa page that I can't connect to. Question: what happens to a web page that has been blocked? Does it just say "server not found"? or does it give a different message? I have asked my ISP about this site and they have connected to it with no problem, as does everyone else I know, so I know it's on my machine. I recently installed SP2. Also, my ISP says it is not in their blocked domain list. So is it on the security tab of the internet options? or is it a different tab? Thanks and good luck. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott V" <scott2089@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <guispeak@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2004 11:42 PM Subject: [guispeak] the privacy tab in internet explorer 6 > I'm wondering, the other day i had to use it for the first time to > alllow a webpage.
