Finding a winning email...

I know this is probably a silly question but I just wondered whether there was something that I was missing.
I have made a separate email for comping and obviously it's bombarded with spam emails.
Is there a tactic to finding emails worth reading?
Or is it just what I am already doing which is clicking the ones with the more personal subjects and hoping for the best...

    Hi Kirkb, you can set up e-mail filters with key words like "congratulations" or "winner" so they get flagged up. Doesn't catch them all but can help, Good Luck xxx

  • Best to plough through ALL your emails - some wems are very well camouflaged and don't get picked up. You'll soon become very good at taking a speedy look through all your emails.
