Using the term SPAM to cover any of them is a disservice - to Hormel, who has been relatively gracious about the use of "spam" for something other than their product. Of course, posting on a list like this is not something trademark law generally applies to, so it us unlikely to lead to immediate legal repurcussions. But it is good to get into appropriate habits, and it is good to try to cooperate with companies who are trying to cooperate with us. > The e-mail in question was not one of those, it was almost certainly > sent by a criminal attempting to steal and re-sell some ones > credentials. It can still be spam. It was unsolicited and it was email; the only leg of the UBE tripod that's questionable is the "bulk" one, and I have little doubt there. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
