Overheard at the airport

Sitting at the gate, waiting for boarding I overhear a conversation. A woman is texting on her blackberry and saying to her traveling partner, “You know that universal sign for ‘not’? He thinks that is why mail is ending up in the junk folder. And if we add it to our mail then it will get delivered.”

This is one of the strangest theories of email delivery I have heard in a long time.

    Does this also mean if you use the universal sign for ‘not’ that people won’t say that the email is spam, and hosting providers will stop getting complaints??
