William Safire's Rules for Writers:
Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Verbs have to agree with their subjects. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. If you reread your work, you can find on rereading a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing. A writer must not shift your point of view. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. (Remember, too, a preposition is a terrible word to end a sentence with.) Don't overuse exclamation marks!! Place pronouns as close as possible, especially in long sentences, as of 10 or more words, to their antecedents. Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is. Take the bull by the hand and avoid mixing metaphors. Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky. Everyone should be careful to use a singular pronoun with singular nouns in their writing. Always pick on the correct idiom. The adverb always follows the verb. Last but not least, avoid cliches like the plague; seek viable alternatives.
Heh, it gets better when you get mail from the phished asking whether the mail is legitimate and then you realize someone's planted a phishing site on your server.
So you kick the invader and reply kindly explaining you have taken that phishing site down, apologizing for any inconvenience. Then this luser replies "Who are you? You don't seem to be from ebay?"

Shadow: Little Borg, who carries the name of the most dreadful piece of sh^Hoftware... could you please bring me something from your corporate headquarters?
Borg: Of course, dear Shadow, what is it you so humbly ask to endow?
Shadow: Walk back to Redmond, dear child, and make it your company's tomb... for all I yearn for lies within your Development Room. I once heard of a program that will become like no other. Could you please bring me your still unborn OS?
Upon receiving it, the Shadow bowed in gratitude, completing her task.
Would you like anything in return, may I ask?
Borg: Please, I hope you won't find me wrong, I would like to have the mostbells, whistles and smoking mirrors an OS can sport. But no matter what I want, I would find a captive customer The most relevant.
Shadow: I'm sorry, dear little Borg, captive customers I can not give. It is sadly beyond my power.
Borg: Then I would like my OS back. For this little license agreement of ours, just turned awfully sour.
What good are you if you make me weep? Please have my OS returned by the gates of my keep.
Shadow: Neither your OS I can give you. What you have licensed is licensed, I merely strive for a way to break even.
Seeing my offer is merely out of kindness, this child will never know the embrace and extend of your fortress.
Borg: Then I wish for a way to have you undone, Mr. Shadow. I want you mauled and buried by the darkest and most blighted meadow.
Shadow: Fair enough, little Borg. Without feelings of either vain or rue, I will grant your one wish 'come true.
Without honour, without grace, you will travel to darkest place. Untouched by the vilest of gloom, your skin will always run paler than our brightest Moon.
Travel the road of which I pointed, and be forever gone.
For sure, one day you will have me undone.
Borg: Thank you kindly, shadow of whom I don't know.

Oh, so you actually RTFA?
Jokes aside, I agree. TFA couldn't be more uninformative and misleading. Hey, they'll probably file a patent or claim a bogus one.

E-S as shown by the translator: "su mosca está abierta".
The real Spanish phrase is "tienes la cremallera abierta". And that's quite uncolloquial.

Opt-in or out are crap anyway, but opt-in doesn't have the catch of unsubscribing.
