We'll keep this one short.There are lots of kinds of junk emails, and many of them attempt to deceive you into opening them.But one kind of message we've been getting lately would rate a punch in the nose if someone tried it on us in person.
We're talking about things like: "Your credit card has been charged for $234.65," which is a higher (or lower) order of emotional assault than "You left your umbrella," which we also get from time to time (don't spammers know it almost never rains here?). The email in question comes all garbled up in plain-text format, from a non-existent domain, so if your granny gets a thing like this, she'll get all flustered and not know what to do. This is cruel, like verbally threatening someone, and ought to be illegal if it isn't already.
Someone wrote today in reply to an apology we'd sent for not responding sooner to a longish email:
"All is good re: correspondence. I know you are there. Email has become a pain these days, it's not fun like it used to be, you know?"
No kidding.
