[ Note that the above is severely edited. ]
If there are still free mailbox services which do not adulterate mail
like this, I would say to refuse posting authority to all adulterating
services. Unfortunately, I do not know of any free services which do
not adulterate mail... the best I've seen is only two lines of self-
promotion.
My second choice would again be to refuse posting authority; those
who would wish to use such a service for posting probably have the
means to pay for a non-adulterating service; this generally costs
about US$20/month. This doesn't seem like a huge investment to me.
Attempting to filter out the adverts is an unstable solution, as you
point out; it would be my third choice.
