A: DELETE. Carry on.
Seriously though (and I totally agree especially the "especially baby
boomers" part), for many non-tech-employed, email is an entertainment
channel. Folks like us don't have time for such nonsense. I'm not
so rude as to create a filter to route my dad's emails straight into
the trash, but based on the Subject line, about 99% of them get
deleted without me even looking at them. No muss, no fuss, no
arguments.
