Email messages which are received, but not asked for or even wanted
junk mail spam or unwanted email; usually from an advertiser; but, can be more harmful with attachments files that are really viruses; replying to such mail in anyway confirms your email address; displayed in html email programs, some spam may have images (perhaps invisible) that report back to the sender the id of cookies sent earlier; this in turn allows the sender to match email address with the otherwise anonymous cookies; to combat this, users can 1) switch to non-html mode before viewing suspected spam, 2) delete suspected spam, 3) disable their modem before viewing suspected spam; new email programs might warn users of this spam trick
Sometimes incorrectly called spam, also referred to as UCE, UBE, UC/BE, bulkmail etc Primarily advertising material sent by email
