I would take this up with them, it's the first time I've seen a legit mailer trying to (through meaningless words) justify why you should receive their e-mail. That's all that text does is try to say it's ok to spam you. Two Points here: 1: If someone clicked a checkbox to receive e-mail promotions, then it's not spam and you shouldn't have to defend the mailing (using that fake law). 2: If it's not a legit opt-in then they are trying to protect themselves with an old anti-spam law that never passed. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
