"Unsolicited" is absolutely clear - everything the recipient didn't ask for.

And that's exactly why it's so hard to define. This assumes you know what you asked for. When you are wisiting web site and it's asking you "Do you want to get our offers daily by e-mail?" and then when you refuse it asks you the same "Are you really sure you want to avoid getting our offers?" it's easy to click Yes or No two times and "ask" for mail.

Other thing: what about bug report or help requests ? I'm sometimes get requests for help from some peoples I never knew - they just happen to have the same problems with mars_nwe and/or SONY VAIO. I'm pretty sure I never asked for such mail but it's hardly can be named "spam".

So everything is far from black/white picture...
