Want to fight back against spam? Depending on where you live, you may be able to sue spammers for filling up your mailbox. Brady Johnson begins a multi-part article about the legal reactions to spam in the United States. Also in this issue, Jeff Carlson explains how he transitioned from Emailer to Eudora, and we note Apple's second-quarter profits and the releases of FileMaker Developer 5 and REALbasic 2.1. Test your Macintosh knowledge with this week's quiz!

Topics:

• MailBITS/24-Apr-00
• Email Spam: The Bandwagon Plays On
• Switching from Emailer to Eudora in Leaps and Bounds
