Interesting spam

[Chris Santerre <cs...@MerchantsOverseas.com>]

I just got a spam with NO url, no address, and no phone number. Looks like a
simple throw away account with a sbcglobal drop box:

What I found interesting was the opt-out clause at the end :) Which is it?
I also like the 'hello' messege in the header. How did the spammer know I
was a hottie? ;) 

Also has anyone seen this header, X-ELNK-Trace: ?

Google is your friend:

Appears to be a header added by the ISP earthlink.net.
