No, no, no!   We don't want to fight junk E-mail, I think we want to
encourage it, *if* it is properly classified.   I would much rather have
junk E-mail than junk paper mail, junk phone calls, junk fax or even TV
ads.

Junk e-mail my computer can handle for me, either tossing it all (and
autoreplying to tell the sender not to bother again) or sorting it for
viewing when I want to peruse my junk E-mail.

If this reduces the other tree-wasting and time-wasting forms of direct
advertising, let's encourage it -- with a mandated header line.
