Hmmm, maybe you have a potential solution to the "unsubscribe" problem here!
Forwarding spam to the list would probably be much easier than retaining
the welcome message and actually *reading* it. "Hey I want off this list,

Even *opening* a spam chain letter is an act of questionable merit,
let alone forwarding it to anyone. I've become quite good at picking
them out through the contents of their subject lines. Not that that is
a hard thing to do, mind you.
