EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS!!!!! THERE IS SOME REALLY GOOD INFORMATION HERE

A friend who is a computer expert received the following directly from a
system administrator for a corporate system. It is an excellent message
that ABSOLUTELY applies to ALL of us who send e-mails.

Please read the short letter below, even if you’re sure you already follow
proper procedures.

Do you really know how to forward e-mails? 50% of us do; 50%
DO NOT.

Do you wonder why you get viruses or junk mail? Do you hate
it?

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 along, the list of
addresses builds, and builds, and builds, and all it takes is for some
poor sap 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
hopes that you will go to the site and he will make five cents for each hit.
That’s right, all of 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 or however you know how to do it. 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. 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
say "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 couple 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 personal 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 isn’t so!)

(6) One of the main ones I hate 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!

Finally, here’s an idea!!! Let’s send this to everyone we
