This three-part book is about everything you will ever want to know about Spam. In Part I, I look at all of the different kinds of "unsolicited commercial messages" and how our tolerances for each vastly differs from total acceptance to $50,000 fines for the same type of message. In Part II, Gary Thuerk, the Father of Email, tells his story how the world's first Spam email message was sent by him while working for DEC with ARPA. Part III of the book, delivers the actual email message itself, the very first Spam message. And there's even a section in here that will explain how Spam became know as... Spam!
