Anyone heard of "The 1776 Coalition"

This foul group of traitors have taken over my in-box and are sending me obscene emails about our "Muslim President."

How can I extricate them from my computer, without disclosing myself to them?

Anyone heard of them?

you might be able to create a rule for this sender with "delete from server" as the response to these emails.

You will never hear from them again.

It's the old resident Outlook program, so it goes to junk mail and I unfortunately can see it. Just have to delete deleteds, but I'd like to send them an appropriate reply.

You're never going to change their minds & their attacks/harassing emails to you will triple.

If you can, designate them as spam. I can do that with my antivirus progam.

hoping you would be convinced. Especially if you have fought by email with other people on the extreme right.
