SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM

According to the NY TIMES, 94% of all e-mail is spam! I truly believe this. My spam filer tosses out over 960 e-mails a day - and then puts another 300 "maybe spam" e-mails in my JUNK MAIL box for me to check. And my own filter "flags" another 20 or so e-mails from folks not currently in my address book, about 80% of which are also spam. UGH!

DID YOU MISS YOUR ISSUE OF CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE TODAY?

It seems that over 60 newsletters were returned today because the contents were considered "inappropriate or spam" by various spam filters. Now, I assume that everyone who has subscribed really wants to receive every issue, and they should check their spam filters to make sure that mail from CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE will be let through - you need to add the e-mail address to your filter's "white list". Of course if you are using a computer hooked up to the server of a company you work for, you may not be able to do this.

I would love to resend you today's issue, but I have no idea why this one was rejected. Last time this happened, the name of a long closed club in Manhattan called BOBO'S was miss-corrected by my spell checker to BOOBS - I didn't catch it and over 60 newsletters were rejected. In today's issue the only "offensive" word I could find would be "gay" but that word has so many different uses I kind of doubt it would be rejected unless you are using a computer at a Southern Baptist or possibly Morman church.

So - today's issue has now been posted on the website - http://www.cabarethotlineonline.com/ - and there are 2 links right on the home page - one near the top and one in the left column.

And if you can help me find the offending word I would be most appreciative - so I can avoid it in the future.
