However, an increasing amount of the spam _I_ am receiving is 'personalized'
spam - the equivalent of the Ed Macmahon "Larry Virden, you may have won..."

of the msg. Sigh.

Same here - lots of trash, but not a lot of repeats - well, repeats
that _look_ like they are from the same person. Who knows who is
_really_ behind this stuff.

What if the law simply stated that all email MUST include an email
address which belongs to the sender? That at least would enable
folk to ensure there is a site easily identified to which complaints
can go.
