That's not from hell, you know what's from hell? An unsubscribe button for some website you signed up to years ago with god-knows-what username and password asking you to login to your profile so that you can unsubscribe from their weekly emails about a product you bought once.

eBay does this same trick. I opened an account long back, now I am not able to unsubscribe from their list as I do not know the password. To get the password, I have to give the answers to the security questions, which I have already forgotten. Phew.

I have marked their emails as Spam and it straight goes to spam folder.
