Penis enlargement

I was sorry to see that mornings for Trisha Greenhalgh are blighted
by spam email. My evenings are similarly afflicted by unwanted and I
hasten to add unneeded remedies for erectile dysfunction and the like.

Where does this irritating junk come from? I thought I must have
annoyed some American correspondent who had decided to send me a plague of
cybergarbage in return. Perhaps that's just paranoia - another contagious
affliction from across the pond.

I have just come across a cunning and efficient little program that
is proving useful to me in the battle against spam. It may be useful to
Trisha Greenhalgh and other fellow sufferers. It's called MailWasher, is
free (contributions optional), comes from New Zealand and is available for
download at www.mailwasher.net/
