Three of the nation's largest e-mail account providers, normally
bitter rivals, today are to announce a joint assault on spam, vowing
to collaboratively hunt down unsavory e-mailers and explore industry
standards that would curtail the ability to create bulk electronic
mailings.

Representatives of America Online, Microsoft Corp., and Yahoo Inc.

step in what they hope will be a broader industry effort. The
proposal lacked specific legislative or technical remedies.
