True, or delete and ignore it. Although, it may also not be bad to provide feedback on what users find inappropriate.
After getting pounded with SPAM in the 1990's and early 2000's, to the point that several e-mail accounts became unusable, I have been very careful with the exposure of my current account.
And, so far for the last decade, I've been generally successful with limiting my exposure to malicious SPAM, to the point that I typically disable SPAM filters on my E-Mail providers.
If say I had two vendors that I was trying to decide which I wished to use, and one sent me instructions on how to purge my bowels... it would weigh heavily on the decision of continuing use of that vendor.
