How to filter out pink dresses (if you use Netscape Communicator)



If you're like me, you can't stomach anymore pink dress messages.  If
you use Netscape here's how to get rid of them.  The message may read a
little funny, having been through a quick and dirty editing; it was
originally written for application to a different problem thread (on
another list...)

Good luck!
