Simple tip to help deal with spam

Like everyone else (I guess), I sort my emails automatically into:

1. likely not spam, so look at them carefully
2. very probably spam
3. the other 10,000 per day that are so definitely spam, I'm not even 
going to look at them. Most of those aren't even addressed to a valid 
username.


That leaves me with the problem of looking at the category 2, every now 
and then (and I do find real emails in there sometimes).

The simple tip, is to sort those emails by subject line (normally, I sort 
email by arrival date). It's a *lot* faster to delete the spams when it's 
sorted that way.
