Since I'm using a browser to view this, I'm probably using HTTP, or
something else in the Application layer of the  internet protocol
stack. TCP and IP deal more with data delivery , not displaying
information.

O RLY :-)

Next, you're going to tell me that Internet Explorer 3.0 wasn't even 
released on 1983-01-01 :-)

Here's a succinct article on the previous protocol, NCP:

Ohh and this isn't an email, it's a Usenet posting. Whichever client
your using sends the message via NNTP, not SMTP.

Most spammers are unaware, or unconcerned with which medium they are using.
They are only concerned with their own selfish desire to reach as wide an
audience as possible.
