They look like an actual email, and it really feels rude not to reply. Nope. Not anymore. That used to be the case, I don't know, 10 years ago? But in these days of the spampocalypse, not replying to emails feels about as rude as stepping on ants on the sidewalk. Sorry, but my time is literally the only non-renewable resource I have.

Sending an unsolicited email solicitation is rude. Refusing to reply to an unsolicited email is not rude.
