The email has info about a stock market item, saying to buy now b/c the price will go up. But underneath it has a bunch of unrelated words. Some of which look like words i have seen before while surfing the web.....

If you do not have a REPORT SPAM thing, then you will have to get one. There are products like SPAM SUBTRACT and such. Visit http://www.download.com and search for SPAM. Then LOOK at the ratings. (You did not mention if you are using Outlook or Outlook Express, so get the one that you need for that). This one is FREE - Spamfighter 4.7.4
- DELETE this SPAM without opening it.
- Never REPLY to SPAM
- Never BUY from SPAM, which would make this form of advertising profitable

report the email to the spam patrols, and put a filter in your email account to block out offensive and sexual words. You can also block the domain from which the spam email came. Hopefully you won't have to see on those again.
Oh, and never give your real email when signing up for things, create a "spam email account" to use for things like that. You will drastically cut down on the amount of spam you receive.

The only thing that really works are filters that use databases on the internet. You can try all day to block them yourself, but the guys who send them adapt to keyword filters and they don't use the same "from" headers so that is not easy.
Reporting them works a little if they realize that you are the reporter. But they move around enough and use hijacked machines enough that they don't worry about it.
I have had good luck with this one http://www.download.com/spampal/3000-238...
but there are others and you usually need to change the settings so that it works best for the way you use email.

I have assorted e-mail money owed. One i exploit for pals to the contact me, one i exploit for at the same time as i purchase stuff on-line. The more advantageous web pages you enter your e-mail tackle, the more advantageous likely you're to get unsolicited mail. it truly is why I save "on-line ordering" web pages on a separate e-mail account. you could create unsolicited mail filters on your e-mail money owed. also, once you get unsolicited mail, click on the "unsolicited mail" or "junk" button to video exhibit of that sender as unsolicited mail. The buttons are distinct depending upon which e-mail you take advantage of (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc). do not continually trust the "unsubscribe" links on the bottom of unsolicited mail. each so often they are used to analyze if an e-mail tackle is valid. in case you click the link, the workstation sending the e-mail will keep in mind that you regarded on the e-mail and likely deliver you more advantageous. in many circumstances unsolicited mail is from mortgage/sex/porn/male enhancement web pages. don't think their unsubscribe links! you're in reality telling them that their e-mail were given by to you!
