94% Of All E-Mail is spam
94% seems low to me. There have been mornings when I've checked my "unread mail" and found a thousand messages - NONE of them legitimate. Spam filters send almost all of them to the "spam" folder, but about 40 a day sneak through to the in-box, mostly those in the Cyrillic alphabet. Lord knows why anyone would want to send me advertising in Russian in the first place. On a normal morning, there are 10-15 real emails among the thousand. Sad state of affairs.
