    Emails in "Junk" folder shaded yellow
    « on: May 11, 2022, 10:45:45 AM »
    Hello, all ... Not sure where to post this as there is no page related to email clients so, here goes ...
    My main email address is @hotmail.com, has been for several years so, Outlook.com is my primary email client. I posted this concern / question on the Micro$oft Community boards on May 4th and got no response after several views so, I am trying a different approach.

     I have been noticing more and more, when I go into my junk folder to delete the contents, the subject line of some of these is tinted yellow. Is this "hilighting" meant to be some sort of warning?

    Yellow tinting means it is flagged. From what I can find, spammers can apparently mark their mail as flagged when they send it, so it gets highlighted by Outlook. They  can also get highlighted by the spam filter rules that are part of web outlook.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
