Study on the Effects of Spam on End Users

Surprising PEW research study on spam, including survey results such as
  • 7% of email users report that they have ordered a product or service that was offered in an unsolicited email, although not all of this is pure “spam.”
  • 33% of email users have clicked on a link in unsolicited email to get more information....
  • 32% consider unsolicited commercial email to be spam, even if it came from a sender with whom they’ve “already done business.”
