I don't know if everyone feels this way but I don't consider E-mail from 
a firm that I do business with to be "spam".  In general, any mail from 
these firms come with an addendum telling me how to unsubscribe.

Mail from strangers trying to sell me something is spam and most 
unwelcome.  I have my own primitive filters that catch most of the worst 
of what slips through ComCast's filters.
