Digital BW, The Print

Hi Bob,

I do the same as you at home, but this issue was at work and I have no control over our spam filter. After reviewing messages I did not receive (from Bowhaus and others), I had a rather stern conversation with our network guy. I can understand regarding personal messages, but the spam filter was also trashing a few of my business e-mails! Not good!
