Well, that's the point really. I don't care if they reset my "opt in"
preferences ten different ways, _I_ never opted in, so anything I get
from these places is spam. They can argue all they want about whether
or not I opt in to their mailings. If they're "respectable," they'll
remove my address and get on with their lives. If they're the more
common unscrupulous spammer, they either won't get the report or won't
care if they get it. Either way, they go through my spam reporting
script which handles them appropriately. ;)
