  • Are you receiving your mail thru a browser, that is, Gmail or equivalent?
    • If so, which browser and which email service?
  • Are you receiving it thru a client such was Outlook Express or Thunderbird?
    • If so, which one?
My own personal cure for Realplayer was to completely remove it from my computer and email complaints to the sites that used it exclusively such as the American Idol site. Then the sites that used it exclusively a few years ago either added WMV or Flash or discarded Realplayer altogether.
