Would that be the Dec 1996 issue, when they helpfully reviewed the
spamming packages currently available to determine which was best?
Favorite excerpt...

The company who makes the "winning package" even includes the review on
their website and puts a quote from it in their own spam. Quite the
anti-spam issue, alright.
