Every time you forward an e-mail there is information left over from the people who got the
message before you, namely their e-mail addresses & names. As the messages get forwarded
to get a virus, and his or her computer can send that virus to every e-mail address that has
come across his computer.
Or, someone can take all of those addresses and sell them or send junk mail to them in the
that inconvenience over a nickel!
How do you stop it? Well, there are several easy steps:
(1) When you forward an e-mail, DELETE all of the other addresses that appear in the body of
the message (at the top). That's right, DELETE them. Highlight them and delete them,
backspace them, cut them, whatever it is you know how to do. It only takes a second You MUST
click the "Forward" button first and then you will have full editing capabilities against the body
and headers of the message. If you don't click on "Forward" first, you won't be able to edit the
message at all.
(2) Whenever you send an e-mail to more than one person, do NOT use the To: or Cc: fields for
adding e-mail addresses. Always use the Bcc: (blind carbon copy) field for listing the e-mail
addresses. [Now this is something I pretty much always do!]
This is the way the people you send to will only see their own e-mail address. If you don't see
your Bcc: option click on where it says To: and your address list will appear. Highlight the
address and choose Bcc: and that's it, it's that easy. When you send to Bcc: your message will
automatically show "Undisclosed Recipients" in the "To:" field of the people who receive it.
(3) Remove any "Fw :" in the subject line. You can re-name the subject if you wish or even fix
spelling.
(4) ALWAYS hit your Forward button from the actual e-mail you are reading. Ever get those
e-mails that you have to open 10 pages to read the one page with the information on it? By
Forwarding from the actual page you wish someone to view, you stop them from having to open
many e-mails just to see what you sent.
(5) Have you ever gotten an email that is a petition? It states a position and asks you to add your
name and address and to forward it to 10 or 15 people or your entire address book. The email
can be forwarded on and on and can collect thousands of names and email addresses. A
FACT: The completed petition is actually worth a lot of bucks to a professional spammer
because of the wealth of valid names and email addresses contained therein. If you want to
support the petition, send it as your own private letter to the intended recipient. Your position may
carry more weight as a personal letter than a laundry list of names and email address on a
petition.
(Actually, if you think about it, who's supposed to send the petition in to whatever cause it
supports? And don 't believe the ones that say that the email is being traced, it just aint so!)
(6) One of the main ones disliked by many folks is the ones that say that something like, "Send
this email to 10 people and you'll see something great run across your screen." Or, sometimes
they'll just tease you by saying something really cute will happen IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN !
(Trust me, I'm still seeing some of the same ones that I waited on 10 years ago!) I don't let the
bad luck ones scare me either, they get trashed. (Could be why I haven't won the lottery??)

(7) Before you forward an Amber Alert, or a Virus Alert, or some of the other ones floating around
nowadays, check them out before you forward them. Most of them are junk mail that's been
circling the net for YEARS! Just about everything you receive in an email that is in question can
be checked out at Snopes. Just go to http://www.snopes. com/
The email on which i received the latest version of the above was cleaned by emailStripper,
available for free from http://www.papercut.biz/emailStripper.htm
I have not used it but if interested check it out
