Here a novel idea...
DON'T USE THE SERVICE! Sometimes I wonder how these people get elected, muchless walk upright. Have an ISP the use a spam filter? Guess what they probably electroniclly scan email.

I agree! Don't use the service. I am looking forward to the day google gives me a gmail account. It's amazing that California recently said it wanted to begin growing and selling pot without giving it a second thought, yet a simple email service has become so taboo.
