Louisiana Tries Anti-Spam Law

chompyZ writes "The legislative battle against SPAMMING heats-up as a new law became effective yesterday in Louisiana. According to KPLC, the new law requires senders of sexually explicit e-mail to include a note in the subject line, "adv-adult," to let unsuspecting internet users know ahead of time.

I had an idea

Could someone please make an add-on for your email client to open an email 1000 times in the same window in the background? To every single email you select. Not fetch it off the server 1000 times but just keep opening every email in its own window, in the background. "Why" is because I have noticed that most spam that I am receiving is html with lots of images and the images are loading from someone's server every time I look at one. 10 people using such a feature would be 10,000 page views per spam. Obviously if more then 10 people used it we could pretty much count on heavy graphics laden spams to disappear.
