Emirates, the well-known airline, is the latest outfit to get this treatment here.
However, given the recently mentioned US freedoms of political speech, why can't you simply exercise your freedoms by reflecting it back to the mailing list unseen but with a polite note added to the the body in big caps saying something along the lines of: "I tried to unsubscribe from your list but that doesn't work, so here's your unwanted mail back. Kindly take me off your list". I don't see how that could be twisted into offensive speech, but it just might embarrass their mailadmin into taking you off the list. Martin
