Not reading thru account configuration and employing the tools provided, imo, does not make their mail spam. Is it annoying that they opt you in automatically vs letting you choose up front? Sure. Blame the slowest kid in the class for that as people would do exactly as you're doing and not configure the account the way they want it and end up not receiving the alerts and then complain. This forces these vendors to default opt-in, sadly. I entertain the same argument, btw, for those senders who pre-check the opt-in box because, in the client's words, "people forget to check the box and then miss our mail". Ok. But "people forget to UNcheck the box and now you've literally created your own spam complaint" is my immediate response. > The protein seller who think that an unsubscribe from review requests is > applicable only to the specific order/product.

I simply unsub (or close the account).
