    SPAM


    I am a new user of Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail. Why do some of the emails have SPAM in the subject line?

    I have found few answers for your question:

    That would probably be coming from your ISP, check with them.
    -----------------------------
    There is nothing in Windows Mail that can tag messages as spam. If you did
    not install a spam program, perhaps your mail server has. Check their
    site.
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    use your browser to sign into your ISPs webmail interface.
    Check the junk mail options.

    Many ISPs have installed junk mail filters to examine incoming
    messages. Typically, an ISP might offer some or all of the
    following options (before they reach the user's computer):

    1. Do nothing, which allows suspected junk mail enter the
    user's inbox.

    2. Move all suspected junk mail into a separate folder on the
    server. With this option, the user needs to sign in periodically
    via the webmail interface, to check the content of the junk mail
    folder.

    3. Label suspected junk mail as SPAM, before it enters the
    subscriber's inbox. This option allows the subscriber to
    configure the mail client on his local computer (i.e. WLMail) to
    apply "Rules" to incoming messages. For instance, a suitable
    Rule in WLMail might be to move incoming messages which include
    the word SPAM in the subject line to a separate folder.

    4. Delete all suspected junk mail. A risky option, because
    the subscriber has no opportunity to review false detections.
