If the message gets bounced, then at least the sender knows I never saw it. But some systems just swallow the message, so people think I've received stuff that I haven't. Fortunately it doesn't happen often, but it does happen. And that makes me want to do nasty things to spammers everywhere.

That is why you should always review the contents of your spam folder(s)
before emptying them. If you don't take that simple step, but rely on
the software, then you will be burned by "false positives". There have
been cases where people have lost job opportunities because of this.

Perhaps, Grant, there is a way to strip email addresses from the
archived messages? Just removing everything starting with "@" for example?
