"If there's no response to this email, I'll consider that a criticism of my personal hygiene. As you know, hygiene is not part of the job, and therefore I would consider rejection on such grounds legally actionable."

If you added this line to every follow up email, that would at least remove the uncertainty about whether or not you would get the offer.

Such and such corporation is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate the candidates based on their race, age, gender, veteran status or smell.

Regards, A poor HR guy who now has to send these emails to all candidates.
