man types of email has an Unsubscribe button at the bottom. the other route, depending on your email provider, will have a send to spam button. both will do the job.

Hi maggiepie
 
Welcome to the Community Forums.
 
I would definitively NOT click any unscribe option provided in an email that you consider as spam...it just serves to tell the spammer that the email address that they have used (most likely as part of a bulk spamming attempt...so effectively they are fishing to see which are correct and not) is valid or not.
 
The first approach I would take is to contact you ISP/email service provider and let them know what is coming through. Many ISPs/email providers now run anti spam software on their servers and look to clear/stop spam at that point.
 
If that does not pan out then you can try installiing antispam software; there is planty out there that is freeware and works well. If you need some guidance on this please send me a private message (discussion of non Webroot security solutions in open fousm is gainst the Community Guidelines) and I would be pleased to recommend some options for you to try.
