You're getting this upset over an e-mail? I really cannot understand
how a simple online message that wasn't even directed at you could
elicit such a response. If you really, really feel the need to filter
out that stuff, though, might I suggest creating a filter in your
e-mail that will delete messages from people whose mail you dislike?
Since the original sender's address still is the "from" (not flafurs),
you could just delete messages from those specific addresses. And then
perhaps have a cup of tea or decaf coffee. :)
