Spam Filter?
 
Does Outlook Express have a spam filtering mechanism or do I have to use a
third party program such as "MailWasher" prior to opening Outlook Express? If
not, is Outlook Express going to have one incorporated in one of the updates
in the future?

Cheers....

Spam Filter?
 
You need a third party program. There are many. K9, SpamPal, PopFile, etc.
OE relies on Message Rules. The most effective is filtering *in* your mail.
Many ISPs also have Spam Filter programs.
