I laughed like crazy when I got an email having the subject line from the title

Sorry pro copywriters, but that was the best email subject line I read since weeks.

Unfortunately ... Guess who sent that email ... a spammer. A creative one

I knew it's spam but I still opened that email (well, I didn't go further by clicking on the damn link )

What was your reaction when you noticed the title of this thread? Did you laugh (and said "WTF?"), or did you get angry (and opened it in order to report the thread )?

    Holy ****!
    Ok, now i'm pissed.

    These have open rates of around 60-80%

      Right, but someone can take out what it has to be taken out (spamming) and learn what can be learned (emotional triggers work!). Then take action and apply

    Honestly, I've gotten e-mails like this before...I delete those, but in this forum, I dared to open it.

    Well done!

      I was curious what this is about. As an email I wouldn't have it opened unless I think it was send by s.o. I know as I am curious what this is about, hahahaha

    I saw the title and user ID and got the impression it might have something to do with open rates on ads run in eZines or possibly click-thru rates on EZA articles, so I opened it.

    I have one list with about 6000 people that will not open - think that'll work?
