Actually, the thing I'm using as a spam filter thinks most of
these are spam too. They tend to include key phrases like "If you
have received this mail in error," which make them prime
candidates for filtering. Happily, having flat-rate 24/7 cable
internet means I don't worry about the cost ;-)

Baseball bats. With thumbtacks. Nails do the job too quickly.
