> It lets you preview all your new mail while it's still on the server, before downloading it to Outlook or another POP mail client. If you open a message before deciding that it's spam, it's opened as plain text so that Javascript pop-up windows, or HTML spy images to tell the sender that you've read it, don't work.

> My favourite feature is the way it can bounce mail back to the sender with a (to me) convincing "Returned mail: User unknown" message apparently from your ISP's mailer-daemon, as if your account no longer exists, in the hope that the spammers will remove you from their mailing list. I haven't been using it long enough yet to find out if this really will reduce the amount of spam I receive.
