[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 139678, member: 3626"] Witz, when someone sends me an objectionable email, especially one based on unfounded rumors, I try to stop it from going further. Simply replying to the person who sent it doesn't do this. What does is replying to the email to all who were sent it previously. I got one about how various politicians treated the security details that followed them around. Supposedly, it was written by a special agent. However, the alleged author didn't even have the correct title for these special agents. I replied to the woman who sent it to me (a truly dear person of whom I think the world) and copied everyone on her list, explaining that I felt something like this should not be forwarded since none of us have actually seen this behavior in person. As such, it is simply rumor done to make one politician look bad with no fact behind it. I was amazed -- five people actually replied and agreed with me. So, sometimes standing up and saying something is wrong can be a good thing, especially if worded kindly and graciously, as you do here on a daily basis. Maybe something sent to everyone might embarass her enough to get her to stop with the spam mail. Who knows? You can but dream (and try). You could also contact her email provider to report her as a spammer and forwarding stuff like this is in fact spam. [/QUOTE]
