I agree; Personally, if it's unsolicited, I don't even read it.
Even if someone is sending me extremely well-targeted spam with the deal
of a lifetime, I wouldn't do business with someone who resorts to spam
email.
IMO, the best test of what email to send is simple...did the
person affirmatively request the mailing? If not, then it shouldn't be
sent.
