When one sends an e-mail to multiple persons or addresses, PLEASE use
the BCC address line for the distribution. Do send the message TO
yourself. This minimizes the ability to clone or copy e-mail
addresses. By avoiding visible e-mail addresses it is much more
difficult to build
In my experience all these sleuthing techniques beyond looking at the
sending address are largely a waste of time and money unless you have

The email address means little. Email systems will accept whatever you

This underlines how important it is to use an e-mail program that
displays the originating address. That "you've won a ..." e-mail from
a major retailer is quickly revealed to be from some obscure address
(not Home Depot or Walmart, after all). A couple of days ago, I
