Stop That Spam
Eating more spam than ever? Here's how to keep junk e-mail from ruling your in-box.
Jim Welp
10. Never, ever bite.
You should never respond to spam. Why? Well, if you do, you're simply letting the advertiser know that you are a prime target for even more spam. Advertisers who send spam in text format have no way of knowing whether or not you open and read their messages, unless you actually respond.
When you open a message that was sent in HTML format, however, the message pulls code from the spammer's server, indicating that your address is a live one. So if you're sure that certain messages (with giveaway subject lines like "Earn $10,000 Your First Week") are junk, delete them without opening them.
