>"As an FYI, by law this email is not spam." along with the Congress citation. Which, according to an American lawyer I know, is bogus. The law was never passed (as of a year ago). Unsolicited e-mail is SPAM. <SNIP> While you and I agree it is SPAM, the U CAN SPAM act was passed into law -- perhaps it is not the bill our friend has quoted, but never-the-less it was passed into law. After that happened, I quit battling SPAM and just basically deleted it. The U CAN SPAM act basically says that if you do not commit fraud with your subject line.....opt out directions.... Then you too can SPAM in the USofA. This overroad the various states' anti-spam statutes. So much for trespass to chattel (or whatever that legal doctine was).
