Schumer’s Anti Spam Bill: A question

Sen. Charles Schumer of NY is proposing a 6-part anti-spam bill. I have deeply mixed feelings about such legislation if only because it’s so non-end-to-end. Among other features, Schumer’s bill would require spammers to preface their subject line with “ADV”.

So here’s my question: I assume Senator Schumer uses his franking privileges to send out postal mail to his constituents. When he does the equivalent via email in order to save some trees, is he going to label it “ADV”?

(Reminder: I’m on The Connection on NPR this morning at 10 EST talking about spam’s effect on us.)
