This over-simplifies matters. You can't simply ask if there is implied 
consent to receive email generally - you have to ask if there is implied 
consent to receive a particular message with all the attributes of the 
particular message received.

This brings us back to the example of an open store. There is implied 
consent to enter for the purpose of browsing or buying, but if you enter 
for the purpose of robbing, then your entry is legally a trespass. If you 
enter wearing a sandwich-board advertising a nearby competitor, your entry 
is a trespass.

Generally, sending somebody a message isn't generally not going to create 
new implied consent for a message that was not already within the scope of 
the implied consent that arises just by having an accessible email address.
