Pet Peeve #387

In my university email account, every time something like "PLS URGENT REPLY IS NEEDED. ." from usmanabubarkar@ciudad.com.ar shows up in my inbox, I hit "submit spam." And every time I do that, this message pops up:

"Please verify that your filters are set up correctly . . . . Verify that your Junk Mail filter is enabled and not set to a low setting . . . and that you do not have any entries in your Accept or Mailing List filters that are too general."

It assumes that because I'm getting junk mail, I'm doing something wrong. You know what that is? That's blaming the victim.

And I resent it.
