The irony is strong...

I received the usual spam e-mail earlier from someone who didn't know how to bcc and therefore broadcast about 100 other e-mail addresses to everyone on the mailing list. I dealt with it in the normal manner - delete.

Not so one aggrieved recipient - who responded in the following terms: "Dear XXX,

please remove us from your email spam list and it might be an idea not to broadcast every email you send your spam to because you are breaching data protection laws by distributing everyone's email addresses without their permission

Thanks".

Unfortunately they used the "reply all" button...

My normal manner is 'Block', then it doesn't happen again.

It had been caught by my junk e-mail filter, but yes, good idea.
