For the people that send spam?

When you monkey with the date so that your mail always shows up first - does that actually accomplish anything? Are you REALLY thinking there's more of a probability that someone's going to stop, read it, and maybe even respond to it instead of deleting it automatically just because it's at the top of their inbox instead of mixed in with their normal mail? This really sounds like a stupid marketing trick thought up by someone who isn't in touch with real-life people.

    Well said. You gotta realize, though, that people trying to make a living through spamming aren't all that likely to be the sharpest tools in the shed. And they're trying to pitch their stuff to people who are even less sharp. Consequently, spam by nature is both absurd and illogical.
