Zinio spam wastes everyone's time

I've never heard of Zinio before, but apparently they produce electronic versions of magazines or something. I've certainly never opted in to receiving mail from them, but they do seem to be a legitimate company. Presumably they bought my email address from a third party in good faith.


But the annoying this is that if you're going to spam out advertisement emails.. well, at least check the basics.

There's some horribly mangled HTML that prevents it from loading properly, but the key annoyance is that this so-called special offer expired on "April 30, 2012 midnight PST" but the email was only sent on the 26th May from an IP address of 66.150.202.2. The email is digitally signed as being from zinio@pgs.zinio.com.

Well, Zinio.. I might just pass you up on your craptastic offer.
