Just curious regarding the spam that was just sent in
Normally I would delete such stuff, but since Im using Outlook 98 (sad but
true!!) as my mail client I noticed
the "remove from future mailings" in the preview pane. Thought this was odd
cause its from a hotmail address
so I scrolled to the end and saw the following
Under Bill S.1618 TITLE III passed by the U.S. Congress this
letter can not be considered spam as long as we include the way
to be removed. To be removed from future mailings for free just
click on the hyperlink at the top of this page and put the title
"REMOVE" in the subject line. This will permanently remove you
from all future mailing. All future mailings from other e-mail
addresses must be dealt with separately.
So its law in the US????? I doubt if thats true is it??????
If it is does anyone know how that translates to european or Irish law
Or is anyone in the states able to spam the rest of the planet and get away
with it.
Regards
Robert
