The possibility remains, however, that this solution might not be
popular with the people in the business of producing such advertisements.
Aye, there's the rub.
Most of the unsolicited commercial email I receive that I would
classify as true 'spam' is shotgunned indiscriminately to people with no
apparent common interests other than having an email address. It seems to
me that enforcing any sender-originated controls over this sort of
communication will be tough. Spammers for the most part know they're being
annoying; they just figure the small percentage of people who do respond make
the effort worthwhile, especially if they're able to achieve a certain level of
anonymity using spoofing software or anonymous remailers. These folks are
unlikely to conform with any standard that inhibits their ability to hit as
many
people as possible with their message.
