[Air-l] Porn spam ...

[Ken Friedman]

Laura Gurak asks, "Has anyone else noticed a sudden increase in the 
amount of porn-type spam they are getting?"

Yes, I have.

I observe that much of this material seems to come via third-world 
nations, especially Russia. This means that European privacy laws -- 
and North American laws, when they are created -- will not be of much 
use in stopping the problem.

A vast amount of the spam I am getting these days is HTML mail that 
has embedded links that do not work with my email program. I couldn't 
respond if I wanted to do so.
