Never seen one of those. My inbox is quite empty, think I got 4 circulars or
newsletters in the last couple of days... I use it as my default online
presence, so it should be chock-full of rubbish... And as the account was
opened soon after Hotmails launch, it should be relatively well known, heck
I even use it as the reply address for newsgroups!

In fact around 2000, I was getting around 50 junk mails a day, of late, that
number has dwindled to around 5-10 a month.
