make sure the defualt settings in your mail client are NOT set to send your text only e-mails as html.

I use emails all the time - now you're making me paranoid

Half the people i contact who have hotmail never get my mail. Hotmail filters like crazy.

hehe.. first I got so much spam, so I read the junkbox more than the inbox to sort out who I wanted from and not.

Believe me it's started to get to the stage where now not only do I not recieve spam emails, usually I can recover these by looking in my Spam folder but nowadays I just plain don't recieve the email at all...
It's like it just disapears into cyberspace..

I changed my email to gmail because hotmail and yahoo got FILLED WITH SPAM mail so I started missing real messages.. go figure..yes.. they were all porn

Spam is free speech, don't hate on mailers, they're just exercising their human right to let you know about great deals

Note:
My ISP blocked the following email domins:

Google
eBAy
Halifax
Yahoo

& Several subscribed forums..

Maybe its just me, but what is the big deal about SPAM? All you have to do is hit the delete key. Really doesn't bother me that much. Takes all of like 30 seconds to clean it out.

What pisses the fuck out of me is all the SHIT I get in the regular mail. I have to take that shit inside, sort it out, throw it in the garbage. Wasting tons of paper, contributing to the growing problem of too much waste, and a total pain in the ass.

The fuckers who keep sendine me shit in the mail are the ones who should be getting the heat.

JMHO ICBW

Bullshit. That's one form of spammer, what about the others?

The shithead spammers who:

Don't have legit "remove me" links
Don't use legit opt-in lists to mail their shit to
Don't give a shit that their spam is unwanted
Mail XXX spam to 100 million addresses which include a few million kids inboxes
Send out bogus scam spams involving paypal, ebay etc


Sure I can just delete that shit, but I'm also smart enough to know that this shit hurts our industry and is bringing more an more negative light to it.

Legit mailers working from an opt-in list who operate within the rules and laws ought to be commended. The rest are just plain shit in my book.
