>Is anyone else being inundated with emails trying to sell knockoffs of high end watches (Rolex et al)? I have been receiving several of them a day for the past several weeks. The emails include no Unsubscribe option, just a teaser line and a link. Apparently they are pretty resistant to spam blocking, too. Usually after I mark something as junk once or twice with Thunderbird that takes care of it. Not in this case. The "senders" keep changing but the subject lines and content don't vary much.

Been getting them for probably a year now.

Just a heads-up - if there's an "unsubscribe" link or mailto in a spam message, NEVER use it. Doing that only lets the spammer know he's got a "live one", and your spam gets redoubled.
