Unfortunately it's not.
At least the principle is not.Since i have my new computer with XP installed i keep getting spam messages onto my screen like every other hour.You click them away and after 1 or 2 hours you have a new one on your screen - without having opened any browser or email client.Just connected to the internet.I haven't really been able yet to figure out how to stop that.

Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties.

Thanx RJ - found it, seems to work.
So that's one thing .NET is "good" for it seems - spam messages.
Hmm..

I consider this totally useless. Since the ads are not html you can not click on a link to go to a site. This means that the indivudal viewing the ad will need to type in a url or write down a phone number. More than that, if you have any firewall these nethails will not go through. It is also considered spam.
