hello,
i have been receiving this email for ages and dont know how to get rid of it.
i have mailwasher 2.0 set up for another account (only one pop3 account allowed).
i tried writing to them, but coz i dont understand spanish, i cannot find the "unsubscribe reply".
i tried translating the page but still no joy.
any one willing to have a try and find the answer would be much appreciated.
It is highly annoying as you probly well know.
the email comes every morning but not at weekends.
here are the websites
http://www.20minutes.com/
http://www.20minutos.es
I can send you a copy of the actual e-mail if need be.
feel free to PM me.
Thanks very much in advance
JP

On the top right:

Si quieres darte de baja, haz click aquí.

If you want to cancel, click here.

aquí = here, that's where you click.

Your email program will open with an email that is ready to be sent. The subject line "Baja de la lista de distribución de 20 minutos" translates "Leave the list of distribution of 20 minutes"

The text "Para darte de baja envía este e-mail sin modificar" means "To cancel, send this e-mail without alteration".

That should do the job.

Well... you'll get spammed harder now because all those links to unsubscribe generally do is verify that this is a valid e-mail address. They MIGHT remove you from thier list, but then just bounce it to another list for resale to other spammers.

For your sake, hopefully not...

Así es.

*Never* reply to a spammer. Don't even use the Bounce option.
