Ahh, you seem to have just misread the two statutes in question. You only have to put your phone number at the top if you send a message (not neccessarily a fax) FROM a fax machine. However, you are bound by the anti-junk-fax law when you send a message (not neccessarily a fax) FROM a pc TO a fax machine.
If you did that, and Google got sued, then they would in turn sue you for Trademark infringement, which you committed by putting "google" on your email, and for breaking the anti spam law in whichever jurisdiction they manage to sue in because google.com is NOT your domain and by using it youre guilty of forging a header.
Of course it covers email. And better yet, it coveres Windows Messenger spam.
The term ``telephone facsimile machine'' means equipment which has the capacity (A) to transcribe text or images, or both, from paper into an electronic signal and to transmit that signal over a regular telephone line, or (B) to transcribe text or images (or both) from an electronic signal received over a regular telephone line onto paper.
Therefore my PC is a "telephone facsimile machine" because by using its scanner, printer, and modem it has BOTH (and only one is required) of the capabilities listed above.
The term ``unsolicited advertisement'' means any material advertising the commercial availability or quality of any property, goods, or services which is transmitted to any person without that person's prior express invitation or permission.
Therefore the email is an "unsolicited advertisement".
And... It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States -- to use any telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send an unsolicited advertisement to a telephone facsimile machine
which obviously says that its illegal to use a pc to send spam to my pc

No, he is thinking of the time a Klingon BoP used an old earth probe (dont recall which one, maybe pioneer 11) as target practice.
