Being the way I am, I'll probably will never send spam e-mails. So if you like this technique, be my guest and use it.

I was thinking today, what if you received an e-mail with a subject like this: "This is SPAM, delete it immediately" - would you delete it, or would you be interested why would somebody send this and open to see what's inside?

MailWasher would have filtered it and deleted it before I ever saw it.

Email spammers are trying anything to get you to click on the mail. I browse all incoming mails before sending them to mailwasher, but once in a while the title is good enough to make me want to click on it.

If I saw an e-mail with a subject like that, I'd just think it was spam and delete it immediately.
