You could ofcourse suggest to your friends and family to not send you  
HTML mail, I'm just saying.

Groovy, I could start to send you spammessages then, woohoo. Or  
better! I'll forge Nicholas' address and claim to be him, cause you  
have approved him, and ofcourse he would never send you spam if he  
replies to the spam preventer bot.



We have a rule at work. Just because someone doesn't do something at  
a certain time, doesn't mean they will never.

My brother sends me spam, I punched him, he stopped. I did leave his  
spammessage marked as spam, because I don't care who sends the  
message, if it's spam, it's spam.

Back to pizza.
