Email Fwd

Email.. It can be nice and sometime it can be a pain in the butt. Out of my 4 email addresses, (work, fire dept, personal, gmail) I believe I spend more time deleting junk and also deleting forwarded email. You know those emails that some kid is about to die and needs help and the ones with the cute little stories. Well, if I spent my time reading each one I got I probably wouldn't have anytime to do anything. Another thing that is annoying about those is when you forward them JUST FORWARD THE TEXT! I don't want to see who in the USA has gotten that email and have to click 10 different screens. I went on Google and just googled Email Foward rules. These are courtesy of netmanners.com.

5 Rules for fowarding email

1. Don't forward anything without editing out all the forwarding >>>>, other e-mail addresses, headers and commentary from all the other forwarders. Don't make folks look amongst all the gobbly-gook to see what it is you thought was worth forwarding. If you must forward, only forward the actual "guts" or content of the e-mail that you are of the opinion is valuable. Check out this neato free program to help you out: Email Stripper.
2. If you cannot take the time to write a personal comment at the top of your forwarded e-mail to the person you are sending to - then you shouldn't forward it at all.
3. Think carefully about if what you are forwarding will be of value (accurate information -- check for hoaxes @ Snopes.com), appreciated (something the recipient needs) or humorous (do they have the same sense of humor as you do) to the person on the other side. Or do you just think it is worthy? If you cannot think of why the person you are forwarding to would like to receive the e-mail - then don't forward it.
4. It should go without saying (But I have to say it because folks do so anyway.) that forwarding of chain letters; regardless how noble the topic may seem, virus warnings or anything that says "forward to everyone you know" simply shouldn't be forwarded because in most cases it is plain old B.S. (again check before forwarding @ Snopes.com). E-mail is e-mail--there is no chain to break or continue--no cause or effect whether you do or not. Also, the fact is not all commentary will be appreciated by the other side if they have a different viewpoint than you do--be very careful here.
5. If you must forward to more than one person, put your e-mail address in the TO: field and all the others you are sending to in the BCC field to protect their e-mail address from being published to those they do not know. This is a serious privacy issue! Do not perpetuate a breech of privacy started by other forwarders who included their contact's addresses in the To: or Cc: field by continuing to forward those visible addresses to your contacts! Remove any e-mail addresses in the body of the e-mail that have been forwarded by those who brush off the privacy of their friends and associates.
