Is there a way (in Outlook Express) to add a sender to the "block
sender" list without having to click the mouse four times?
Can't a micro be written (and how) that one keystroke would do it all?
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

Actually, when I use it it it does not require clicking Yes or Enter.
You shoul dbe able to turn off the confirmation request.

However, I will ask the editors to remove my answer and hopefully
another researcher can find what you desire.

Best regards,

It would be very difficult to set this up in Outlook Express. Version
5.5 does not have a Macro feature built in, and although I haven't
upgraded to 6.0 yet, I don't hold out hope for that feature either.

If you have multiple messages of senders you want blocked, you could
use a VBScript that uses the SendKeys method to go through a number of
messages automatically. Using the same keystrokes clouseau identified,
it would make the task go faster than a manual method, but I do not
see a way of getting around the use of multiple keystrokes or mouse
clicks.

FYI - 
The blocked senders are added into the registry in the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{Some Long
GUID}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\(5.0 or 6.0)\Block
Senders\Mail\Criteria
