Back when I had a Blackberry, I was happy to get emails from them about new features, downloads, etc. Now I have an iPhone so I don’t want to get emails about Blackberries anymore. Case in point is this email I received yesterday: To comply with CANSPAM, the bottom of the email contains a link to unsubscribe: That “here” link lands me: The main Blackberry Owner’s Lounge page…and I’m not even auto logged in.
