I don't know who originally wrote the following, but I've been using a
modified copy of it to send to friends that don't edit forwarded mails:
Subject: e-mail Addressing
Dear Recipient of This e-mail:
It has been noticed that in your addressing of messages you are using
the "TO" function in e-mail that goes to many people. The extra lines
of addresses are of no consequence to those to whom you are addressing
the message. They only add to net congestion, which in turn slows down
the overall speed of the network. They also allow spammers to harvest
address.
Would you write your friends' phone numbers on the walls of public
restrooms? If the answer is 'no', then why would you spread their
e-mail addresses to a bunch of strangers, many of whom will in turn
forward the same addresses to even more strangers?
If you don't know how to accomplish this, read the manual or help
files for the software you are using. You should have a "BCC" address
option. This option will 'hide' the addresses from the recipients of
your e-mail. You might want to ask your peers. I don't suggest that
you ask your ISP Help Desk, since they will probably give you
incorrect information.
Thank you for your consideration to others.
Opps, wrong text. Only the first paragraph as been changed, here's the
correct one:
It has been noticed that in your forwarding of messages to other e-mail
users you have not been deleting the numerous headers that accompany
what may be a short message. The unnecessary lines of previous headers
are of no consequence to those to whom you are forwarding the message.
They only add to net congestion, which in turn slows down the overall
speed of the network. They also allow spammers to harvest address.
Either paragraph would do, ED.
I live remotely from the rest of my family (cannot convince them to
leave "the big smoke"). When I do a family news e-mail, I've even
started BCC:'ing them rather than To:. (I include myself as the To:
address, just in case some server requires one.)
I'm sure they each have each others e-mail address, but just to prove a
point.....
Daniel
