My husband forwarded this to me, but I'm only including part of it:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
BRAND NEW ANTI-SPAM TECHNOLOGY! 

Detect & eliminate spam BEFORE it gets to your mail client! Tired of 
the hundreds of unsolicited commercial email (UCE) infiltrating you 
mailbox everyday? Now you can do something about it! Seek and 
Destroy all unwanted junk e-mail at the click of a button, BEFORE it 
reaches your mailbox!  
  
FEATURES:

mailbox! Unlimited Account capability! Add as many e-mail accounts 
as you desire User friendly, graphic interface makes spamscanner 
very easy to use Scan manually, or let the scanner scan

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Or, I told my husband, you could immediately eliminate one source of 
spam by blocking the address that sent THIS piece of mail.  Seems 
that they'd only be able to advertise their product if everyone 
could still receive spam.  Then again, if you get their program, no 
one else would (in theory, assuming it worked) be able to ever send 
you spam again.  Somehow, I'm philosophically opposed to giving 
business to someone who has spammed me, even if the purpose is to 
stop other spam....
