Peter Clifton suggested a Free product called Pop 3 Scan Mailbox

What a terrific suggestion. I downloaded it, and the manual (in Word 7, Word 97, and PDF formats) and installed it.

You connect to your ISP and preview your mail before you download it.

What works best for me is to download my mail as usual, but if it looks like it is taking a loooong time, abort the download, open Pop 3 Scan Mailbox, look at the first 10 lines of any suspect messages, and delete the suspicious ones.

Then disconnect from Pop 3 Scan Mailbox and download my mail as usual.

This product is terrific.

Thanks for the tip Peter.
