Annoying

Annoying is the least of it. What word best describes discovering my own email in my "spam" box? On yahoo mail there's a "bulk" mailbox in which spam and other undesirables are delivered. I check it to rescue innocent letters, which somehow have been miss-labeled by overly enthusiastic spam controls, or my own bad aim when deleting. "Delete" and "spam" are side by side in yahoo.

But it does seem a bit absurd at best to keep discovering my very own letters and notes and replies. I re-label as "not spam," but they don't believe me. You'd think they'd be smart enough to know that it's from my address! I wrote it, not some spam machine!!

If people don't want to get my mailings, they can just request to be taken off the list. I always cooperate.
