How could I be more upfront? I asked for images and explained the
reasons why I would need them. I could just ask for images, but there
is a tiny problem with copyright that may arise when I use it in the
program, so I had to be upfront and provide a link. If you don't want
your pictures to be used this way - simply ignore the mail.

Maybe this:

Looking for images to enhance our shareware fishing log software (or
home security, or birdwatching, etc.). We will not pay you but if you
download a copy of our 'free' (demo?, time limited? can not verify what
the free version does as I use a BSD version and do not run Windows as
it appears this requires to operate) software you can see your
submission credited.

Also, this is not 'mail' but a usenet group that is focused on sal****er
angling, one of the several newsgroups that you cross-posted to (and due
to my lack of checking previously that I also cross posted apparently in
responding). Your subject does not match the content. I read your 'mail'
as I thought that an angler was looking for images for a logbook. That
is not at all what the post is about. You are not an individual but a
representative of a shareware/commercial application looking for images
for use in your product.

Just add 'ADV' to the subject and that way people who are not interested
will know it is commercial and can skip it.
