Prior to Version 8.0 of MSN, the spam protection was basically the
same as Hotmail's but in a more attractive interface. Version 8 adds
intelligent spam filtering in the client software, which claims to
learn what is and is not spam as you train it. This means that when
you check your mail from the Web, your in-box may contain spam that
wouldn't be there if you checked from your main machine. In the time
we spent with the new client software, we were able to see some
improvement, but it needed a lot of training.
