Are You Being Served? Don't Open That Email!

An unnamed reader writes: "A federal appeals court has ruled that legal documents can be served by email. Since the party had no physical address, the court ruled that email was a viable option. So, before you open that next email, you might want to consider if it's something you might want to avoid! And it wouldn't be spam..."

Re:Prove I opened it

[Technician]

It doesn't work for me. I always drop the connection before opening mail. I do this for two reasons.
1, Stops mail viruses. If it tries to open a connection it gets deleted. I don't spread viruses.

2, Stops advertiser tracking. If it tries to open a conneciton, it gets deleted. I want a mail advertiser to know most of their mail hit the bit bucket unseen.

Sending anythng with a bug or fetch anything ensures I don't see it.

They may say I received it, and I can say it was auto-deleted if it met any of these spam/virus modes of operation.
