Thanks Pete.
As I understand it - CANSPAM laws are only for mass mailings. (And they are valid only in USA.)
Not for solo emails.
Practically speaking - if you contact someone who doesn't know you via email - and personalize that email - he won't call it spam.
I cold email a lot of people. I send out quite a few thank you letters / comments / jv requests etc via email. All to people who haven't yet given me permission to email them.
