Often you will like the joke and decide to send it to all of your
friends and family. Many of them will do the same. Now your email
address (and everyone else's) has been broadcasted all over
cyberspace. Did you ever consider that these emails may sometimes
end up in the Inbox of a spammer? Not only will the spammer put
all these addresses in his database for sending junk mail, he
will likely sell his list to other spammers. The result is
everyone begins receiving hundreds of unwanted junk emails.
Instead, if you want to forward the message to others,
(1) add the names to the BCC field and
(2) delete any email address in the body of the email.
Many email programs, by default, don't show the BCC field. For
example, in Outlook Express you need to select View, All Headers
from a new message window. If you use a different email program
you may have to check its Help menu.
