Hi,
Never ever reply to spam messages. Likely the worst thing you can do is
click the unsubscribe link. What you are doing is telling the spammers that
they have a good and valid address. They can now sell it or use it. Best
thing is to either ignore the stuff if it isn't too much or to filter it so
you don't see it.
