Eric, There are numerous ad-blocking utilities available for free on the internet. You can download the software by going to ZDNET or CNET websites. I have just recently installed "AdSubtract" free software. Their website is: www.adsubtract.com You might want to check out their "pro" version ($20-30) that offers additional internet privacy & security features. I'm not going to be a hypocrite & moralize about cutting off the income from good sites like egroups. I usually run with the blocking software disabled & only enable it when i'm at sites with lots of ads or when i want to print a web page. ZDNET -> www.zdnet.com CNET -> www.cnet.com goto their downloads area & use the search function to find 'ad block'. These sites have hundreds of free & shareware programs.

I use Eudora 4.2 and in the settings, there's boxes to check if you want to automatically view graphics, html, etc. I turn 'em all off. I also filter out messages greater than 40K and retrieve them only if the subject interests me. Mark B2 A2
