WILL GATES' E-MAIL POSTAGE IDEA STAMP OUT SPAM?
by John Hogan, News Editor
![]()
A kooky e-mail scam solves the spam menace. As ridiculous (and ironic) as that sounds, it's similar to an idea that Bill Gates floated recently at a forum in Switzerland.
Among the earliest Internet "urban legends" was the one circulated by an e-mail message that implored people to forward it to everyone they knew as a sign of solidarity against proposed federal legislation to charge postage for e-mail messages.
The reference to legislation was bogus, of course. But because the spam problem is so bad today, perhaps the idea of e-mail postage isn't so preposterous after all. Gates launched a public dialogue on the issue at the World Economic Forum when he suggested that the junk e-mail problem could be solved in as little as two years by charging e-mail senders.
