Thanks for the depressing stats. For a time I got into the habit of
sending junk back in the self-addressed return envelopes that usually
accompany junk mail. Make sure to blackout any identifying
information on the envelop (e.g. barcode) I used to send newspaper
clippings or coupons found in other junk mail.

as for reading mail, very occasionally i need to read mail over slower
links (dialup); this is when a webmail or mail agent might win over
drawterm/acme/Mail. drawterm/nedmail is pretty reasonable, even at
those speeds.
