Dear Professor, I'm a student working on [FIELD COMPLETELY UNRELATED TO MINE] from [X]. I looked at your webpage and I found your work on [RANDOM PAPER FROM MY WEBPAGE] very interesting. I was wondering if you are admitting new PhD students in 2020. I could be an asset for you.
I worry, though, that complaining about this will shoo away some prospective students who would actually be a good fit even though they don't know it, while doing nothing to stem the tide of emails from prospective students who are a terrible fit.

There's an easy solution!!!

Do you mean the "tell them to use a unique string" thing? I don't think it solves the problem I'm talking about, which is that if I loudly complain about getting irrelevant mail, people who think they are borderline (but aren't!) will be deterred from emailing in the first place.

E.g., I recently heard from a student with a stellar PL background, but in a different corner of the community than the one I'm from. They were sort of dismissive of their own experience, even though it was the kind of experience that really would be an asset to my group!
