OOOPS
One mistake you are making is by replying. E-mail bots scan the internet looking for mailto: designations and store those for later spam. The reply to address is a fake, but the simple act of replying verifies that the email bot struck a valid email address. If you high lite the message WITHOUT OPENING IT and right click on it a window will come up. Select options or properties (depending on which e-mail program you use) and another window opens that shows the message header. Copy and paste all of this into an email addressed to your ISP abuse department such as abuse @ yourprovider.com and tell them it was unsolicited spam. If you use Outlook 2000 you can then assign it as adult content, after you turn on the adult content filter, and future mail from that address will be blocked. If you use Outlook Express 6.0 When you tell it to block the first time it will automatically block it from then on.
Hope this helps.
