TIP OF THE DAY-YAHOO SPAM

This is pretty small-potatoes, but here's a handy little thing I do once or twice a week in Yahoo Mail.
Yahoo's spam filter works pretty well, but I still skim it to make sure something I need (bank alert, e-receipt) isn't hiding in there. With 50 lines per page, it's tedious digging through aLl tEh V1@grA junk, right?
Tip: I sort columns by sender. Suddenly the spam tidies itself up, since many junk "senders" are identical. (This would also probably work, sorting by Subject.)
It's minimal, saving only a few seconds, but I find that my eyes can skim a list of 50 much faster, when the like-sender items are clumped together.
