That's the problem I have with spammers, not the large influx of mail, but the fact that the messages themselves just piss people off and don't meet their selling potential.

Now that everyone is throwing in random gibberish to get past content analysis and all, it makes it even worse. Subjects are a big one, especially with porn. You're not going to offend someone giving them a work-from-home or preapproved credit card surprise message, but you are going to piss most people off sending them porn. If they're blocking subjects, than they're probably most likely not going to click your link anyway.

FWIW, I work at a spam filtering company... I've seen it all ;)
