As is my want, I always respond with a terse opinion of spam when it
appears to be a "real email address." His response is that some wacko
bill in the US defines it as non-spam because it has unsubscribe tagged
to the bottom.
Seeing as I am in Hong Kong, he needs to check the section of this
country's legislation that discusses address harvesting and sending more
than 100 emails in 24 hours.
Spam is spam is spam.

Ron, I tend to share that opinion. Junk mail is still junk, even with
that "unsubscribe" crap. That last little tag just verifies that the
address is good and a valid target for more crap. I always tell folks
that the "unsubscribe" tag will cause more spam, not less; just ignore
it. Here in the US, we're stuck with a "know nothing, spend everything"
Congress. If "ignorance is bliss", those people should be in seventh heaven!
