Is it AE or a mistake?

[Humble]

Here’s something I came across on the Net:
Ignore lists are used for those people who's messages you wish not to read.1. who’s – I think it’s a mistake.
2. wish not – Archaic? Emphatic?
What do you make of it?
TIA

It is not a mistake, and I don't think it is especially AE. It is, however, a very formal way of speaking. Normally people would say "whose messages you don't wish to read."

Hi, who`s is a mistake it should be whose.
Wish not is very old fashioned

In "wish not to read", the "not" negates the infinitve "to read" rather than the verb "wish".

Rewboss, do you really find wish not to read natural?
If we take choose not to read it looks fine to me.
Tnx
