Common technique used by spammers.... a good percentage of the
population will pause and go "Huh? I don't remember asking for this, but
maybe..." - the result is a lower probability of complaint, a lower
number of complaints, less outrage, and a longer life for the
probably-stolen account (or it's one of those darn AOL 1-month-free
accounts).

You won't see your email address because you're on the BCC: list.

Report spam to the ISP of the originator, including the full headers.
ab...@sympatico.ca only manages their own (sympatico) clients, not email
users worldwide (even if the target is a sympatico user). When a
sympatico user spams you, send it to ab...@sympatico.ca, not
assis...@sympatico.ca.

I go to http://spamcop.net/. Paste the message into their web page... they
then parse it and determine the best people to complain to. They'll even send
a report for you.
