Senate approves bill designed to curb junk e-mail (Massachusetts)
BOSTON (AP) Massachusetts Internet users may get a chance to fight back against unwanted e-mail, better known as ''spam.''

The state Senate overwhelming approved a bill Thursday to require businesses that send out commercial e-mail to put the letters ''ADV,'' for advertisement, in the e-mail's subject line.

Anyone sending out sexually explicit or adult-oriented e-mail would be required to put the letters ''ADV:ADLT'' in the subject line
