[DCN-TechOps] Re: SPAM tagging

[DCN Web Team]

Thanks for the reference. I was looking through their e-mail client 
setups, and discovered that the Windows version of Outlook Express had 
the note "Outlook Express does not support the kind of filtering options 
required to filter Spam tagged by UC Davis."

Sure enough, it's filtering options are truly primitive and inadequate. 
The Mac version, which is newer, is OK.
