You're lucky, the spam I got with the same address didn't have a link to unsubscribe.

Yeah, I think I'll pull out an envelope and address it right now. bah. Thanks to the wonder canned-spam act for this one.

You never want to click on those links to unsubscribe anyway, or you'll just start getting more spam. When spammers send out email they have no idea who will see it and who won't, as--since they use a fake From: address--they won't get any undeliverable replies.

Clicking on unsubscribe links however tells the spammer that spam sent to your address will be seen by someone, and you are now a "confirmed" address. Spammers compile these lists and sell them at a premium (you may have gotten spam trying to sell CD-ROMs with 50 million "confirmed" email addresses on it. Guess how they confirmed them?).

If it's not an email that you legitimately got (i.e. you buy a Sony TV, register at Sony's website, and suddently you're getting emails from Sony), then NEVER click any unsubscribe links.
