I found it interesting anyway.. personally, I'm surprisedthat the percentage of spam isn't higher. At firstI was alsoa bit dumbfounded byhow much email the averageworker sends and receives, but pretty sure that each recipient/cc/bcccounts as an email, so it'snot too surprising when you throw in a few back-and-forths.
