Or for you UN*X users, all of these pesky notifications from AOL's
mail system, or for that matter, any other regular unwanted mail
garbage you receive, can be silently, blissfully, painlessly directed
to that most useful of files... /dev/null. Check out the
filtering-mail FAQ for tips on how to do this. It works! I promise!
