however, I am not against unsoliceted email. And I dont feel obliged to have an opt out link.
people call my number all the time out of the blue offering me cheaper phone calls and everything. It's a bit anoying, but thats the world we've got - so accept it. I don't see why you have to take a moral high ground with email.

Afterall, they are also businesses puting their names out in the public forum. If they dont like it they should have got a normal job instead.

9barJoe said:obviously you dont want to pee off any potentail clients, so you have to use some self control. I would keep the emails light, with simple clean html & css. I normaly test them on myself first to see how they rate with spam assasin & how outlook handles them. Personaly, I send html email with a plain text alternative.
9barJoe said:To avoid the peeing off factor, I wouldnt mail the same prospect more than twice a year.
9barJoe said:so far that philosophy has worked okay for me.
