Handling Email Overload in Congress

DedHerring writes "A piece from Roll Call, a newspaper on the hill, that describes how Congressional offices are working to identify which of the many bulk emails received are actually from constituents of their district. Worth a read to know if the click-through online petition you participate in is ever going to be considered by the recipient legislator. Confirms many posts in Slashdot on this topic."

    So, from what I read, this is what I gathered: Gary Condit read too many spam e-mails, and bought some virility pills. He took one accidentally instead of the tylenol he wanted to take, and ended up grabbing the nearest woman nearby, who ended up being Chandra Levy. From there, it went downhill.
    One more lesson for the congressmen why we need anti-spam legislation, not just anti-forged-headers and anti-no-unsubscribe legislation.
