   I have just sent an abuse report about a short email with about 77K
attachment and loads of http addresses which appears to be trying to sell
company cars, apparently from a co-lo in Bournemouth.
   I received 4 junk UCE from the same address in Canada, sent an abuse
report about the first 2, then informed the abuse team at Demon so that they
can place a Brightmail block for all subscribers.
   I only open the emails in the text editor used to copy the entire email
to the abuse reports, so they are mostly unread, but I noticed that all had
a note near the end asking the receiver to notify them if they do not wish
to receive further emails. I do not reply to any of these.
