Email chains: Check first, click later
This morning, I received an "email hoax" about illegal aliens and was more than a little peeved that my private email address had been included in such a mailing.
Unfortunately, many of the people on his list will simply forward to their list, and as the chain grows, all of the email addresses will continue to be embedded in the mailing. So 8 out of 10 Windows users on that list will undoubtedly have a zombie on their machines which will forward all the email addresses to spam harvesters.
