Question:
Do you ever open SPAM e-mail?

Choices:
Open Home Mortgage SPAM
Open cheap prescription SPAM
Open "enhancement" products SPAM
Open other types of SPAM if it looks interesting
NEVER open SPAM e-mail

 

I usually open stuff to see what it might be. Especiall when it doesn't look like obvioius spam and I want to check to make sure it's not something. Nothing ever happens so eh.

I wouldn't intentionally open it- EVEN if it something I am interested in. I don't want to encourage them. I have heard they sometimes can tell if the email has been opened. (I don't trust any of it)

If I'm not sure its spam, I click properties and check the source. The WORST thing is to unsubscribe to anything. It verifies your address!

I NEVER open it. I have "Mail washer" that enables me to "view" it before I open it, so I can tell at that point that it needs to be dumped! :-)

Tree,
Is that the most recent version of Mailwasher you have, or the older version thats compatible with Hotmail? I had the older one, and lost it, now I cant find a copy of it again.

Any silent voters out there who open their SPAM? Surely someone must - or the spammers wouldn't do it in the first place!

Check the profiles on AP for anyone who has suddenly got a college degree...

Like most others, I will not open
unsolicited mail. SPAM sucks, whether
it is in the inbox or the cupboard.

Hey chris! I liked Mailwasher and bought it. They send updates when available, so mine would definately be the most recent!

Tree,
Ahh ok thanks! I'm going crazy trying to find the older version that supported Hotmail, cant seem to find it anywhere. Anyone have it,or know where I can find it?

Chris, is This any use to you? I'm a bit confused as to what you need.

Tree,
Thanks, but its not quite what I was looking for. I'd like to find the older free version with support for Hotmail in it. I know its hard to find as I've gone crazy to find it myself. Thanks for trying though, I appreciate it!

Dog, you would have a tough time in Hawaii, eh brah?!

Matches my OE or WAB Windows Adress Book entries and if no match. Well then see ya. Bub-eye. And straight from program so the rest stays on the server and can be viewed on any machine. POP3 mail.

I am so desperate for attention that I open, read and reply to all emails. Even the Ones that I know are viruses.

So utterly bored with life that I will quickly drop what ever it is that I am doing to click on all pop-up ads - even those I am not interested in.

Such is life for me, and I assume millions of others, obviously, or why else would spam and pop-up ads be still used as a form of advertisement?
