Dealing with Spam, Ham & Meatloaf!

Everything that ends up in your Inbox falls into one of three categories:

Spam - unsolicited commercial e-mail

Ham - legitimate messages

Meatloaf - Jokes or other meaningless messages from well meaning friends

Understanding the basic rules and 'netiquette' of e-mail can dramatically reduce your exposure to the bad stuff, making it easier to get to the good stuff.

Listen in as the Data Doctors focus on the obvious and not so obvious rules of the road for electronic messages.
