Often one will get an e-mail labeled "EXTREMELY URGENT" or "VERY IMPORTANT--READ
IMMEDIATELY", open it, and discover that it's Spam. The idea is that they want
you to read their advertisement as soon as possible, as if this would somehow
make you more likely to want what they're selling. Porn sites are most commonly
the ones to stoop that low for customers. I guess he was afraid someone would
interpret the subject line as indicating Spam and delete it without reading it,
although dropping the "NOT PORN SITE" and replacing it with some descriptive,
Deadlands-related subject line would have made more sense.
