Even thought my e-mail is out on the web. It is not posted as an account to freely send advertising e-mails to. Spam is "unsolicited e-mail" so if I didn't sign up on website that EXPLICITLY states "by disclosing your e-mail you agree to the Terms of our conditions", which the Terms would state some garble of being sent regular e-mails from them or other companies, etc. etc. I don't recall seeing that in the e-mail for this and other perl lists. (most of this only applies for the U.S.)
But I don't use this account for that. I use this account for work and perllists, and my other accounts for signups. Too bad I can't use SpamAssassin since I am not admin and I am forced to use M$ LOOKout. I cannot filter my e-mails other than using the crappy rules wizard in Outlook (212 rules and counting). (no they don't allow POP3 access or any other way... try as I might the sysadmins say too bad sucka) Poor me stuck with SH1Tty mail programs at work. > -----Original Message----- > From: David T-G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 10:15 AM > To: perl beginners cgi > Cc: Nikola Janceski > Subject: Re: HTML in E-mail > > > Nikola -- > > ...and then Nikola Janceski said... > % > % To new perlmongers: > % > % I hope that whoever started this thread isn't the one who > is send out the > % ugliest spam (HTML attached as a txt file) to mine and > others accounts.
