That would be good.  From what I understand a lot of people sign up for 
news letters that they do not open.  This has caused the the industry to 
start bouncing those messages.  I'm not sure if I have this right, so 
correct me if I am wrong, there is some sort of rating system based on 
the quality of subscribers.  That rating effects delivery and is based 
on bounces and non opened emails.  The funny thing is I receive several 
emails that I routinely do not open and they just keep coming.  I open 
every PLUG email and that is one of the emails that was effected.

If I were Yahoo, I would want to reduce the number of emails the deal 
with.  I get over 100 spam emails a day in my Yahoo account and maybe 20 
emails I want.  Think about the resources that Yahoo used to deliver all 
that extra email.

Unfortunately until they figure out how to ID real spam we will be left 
to deal with these issue.

Spam has become a real issue with me.  Most of my email accounts now 
receive some level of spam.  I might spend 5 or 10 minutes a day dealing 
with spam.

By the way my snail mail box gets lots of spam also.  Unfortunately most 
of it goes to the recycle bin, which uses up lots of natural resources.
