[SPAM] in Subject Line

For the past week WLM adds [SPAM] in front of the subject line of all
received email. Also leaves it in the subject line when forwarded.

 

WLMail can't do that. But a third party app, or your ISP's spam program can.

 

I've never been able to do that in any client I have ever used, even Windows
Live Mail. The only way I can tag the subject line in any email client I use
is to either run a spam checker program (POPFile would let me add custom
tags; anything, including, but not limited to, 'spam'), or my ISP email
service (I have 'at&t Yahoo! HSI', and the Yahoo! servers can add a 'Bulk'
tag to the subject line, if I configure it so).

If you are seeing a tag added to your subject line, either you are running
an application which lets you tag the subject line, or your ISP, or other
E-Mail Service Provider is doing it.

Plus, use your browser to sign into your ISPs webmail interface.
Check the junk mail options.

Many ISPs have installed junk mail filters to examine incoming
messages. Typically, an ISP might offer some or all of the
following options (before they reach the user's computer):

1. Do nothing, which allows suspected junk mail enter the
user's inbox.

2. Move all suspected junk mail into a separate folder on the
server. With this option, the user needs to sign in periodically
via the webmail interface, to check the content of the junk mail
folder.

3. Label suspected junk mail as SPAM, before it enters the
subscriber's inbox. This option allows the subscriber to
configure the mail client on his local computer (i.e. WLMail) to
apply "Rules" to incoming messages. For instance, a suitable
Rule in WLMail might be to move incoming messages which include
the word SPAM in the subject line to a separate folder.

4. Delete all suspected junk mail. A risky option, because
the subscriber has no opportunity to review false detections.

 

I've seen McAfee do this when you enable Spam protection and enter you web email account - McAfee assumes that any email from a
person not in the McAfee "Friends" list is SPAM. I get around that problem by turning spam protection off.
