I receive many bogus e.mails pertaining to come from various banks of which I have no connection. I like to delete these without opening but to delete them it seems you have to open them first. Any help with this issue would be appreciated. Thank you.

I think you are over-worrying. TB doesn't run scripts in messages, so unless you click on anything, it can't launch covert content. You could switch off HTMl to prevent webbugs.

You should find that right-click then delete will do the job.

Thank you Zenos for that info will try it next time I receive any dodgy e.mails, much appreciated. Think you are correct that I am over worrying but am new to TB and things are a little different to my Outlook Express.
