Is it safe to delete the spam e-mails? I have a mac, BTW.

Delete them without opening them and you will be fine.
Don't open them. BAAAAAAAAD idea.

I agree with bananaman. They contain pornographic images, and some of them may say that it is from, for example, this is what I got, WaveOSbeta.
Some may say something that sounds like its from the scratch team, like "Scan your computer" or "I found out the problem".
Mark the clearly inappropriate ones as spam, and then all of the ones that are disguised will be marked as spam too.

Mine was from waveosbeta also. :S
So I opened it, but didn't do anything else. Is this bad?

I think it's still possible to mark it as spam, so go ahead and do that.
If you have some kind of antivirus program running in the background scanning quietly, you're probably fine. You can always make your antivirus program do a full scan if you want to.

We both know it wasn't Wave, but do try to scan your computer, and DO mark the message as spam.

Yes. Just don't look at them.
I think I once got this email from something called Management, and I think it had something to do with McDonalds. I don't even know how they got my email, but I deleted it because attached to is was a document, and spam documents can like destroy your computer.
So yeah, it's safe to delete spam. Just don't look at it and if you have gmail, like I do, it'll be in the Trash folder, but it won't be deleted forever. Once you get it in the trash folder delete it forever.
