If you send Rogers an e-mail requesting that they remove the ads from the e-mail that is sent from a camera phone, you get this reply:
Dear Mr. Duvekot:
Thank-you for your email. We strive to provide you with the highest
level of customer support, and hope we can be of assistance in
addressing your questions.
Rogers Picture and Video Messaging is a relatively new service offered by Rogers Wireless. Rogers Picture Messaging customers can send pictures to other Rogers Wireless phones or to any e-mail address. If sent to an e-mail address, the format and positioning in the recipient's e-mail is intended to provide context to the recipient. It ensures that they know the picture has been sent from a friend so they can be comfortable about who they received the message from and it invites them to learn more about the service.
Thank you for visiting www.rogers.com!
It's very simple: I'm paying for the service. It's wrong to insert adds in e-mails that I'm sending. Why is that so difficult to grasp?
Update: someone at the starfeels the same way.
