actually, there are much better ways of tracking which mailing nailed
you, like this (not a real address, but similar to one's i've seen in
actual spam messages):

<img src="http://axb43.com/a.jpg?3562634534264576346324" height=1
width=1>

when you view the message, your mail client tries to get the image, and
the request is logged on the spammer's web server.
