Have you ever received a single piece of UCE/UBE [incorrectly called
spam]? If so, there is a great likelyhood that you could receive lots
and LOTS of e-mail with whichever worm/virus is popular at the time.
Have you ever noticed that many of the mailbox-stuffing programs have
obvious mailing lists for addressees? I'm stuck on one named
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ...
As long as Windows is allowed to exist and designed to keep secrets from
its users, who knows *what* will be found in the various e-mail address
books on Dozerware machines??
