TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
OTOH, I think he was being fairly nice to write back and explain how they could rectify their, um, marketing error. Any mail in my box with that kind of cue in it gets deleted unread.

Subject: Re: EHelp's Deceptive Email Practice
Since you asked, yes. Instead of charging them with a spammer's crime, you
could have said that they may want to rethink their addressing, since it
resembles a spammer trick and therefore may be filtered out without being
read. Big difference between saying "You're dishonest" and "Your email
looks like it was sent in a way used by dishonest spammers."
But that's just me....
