Yep, or forward it to the FTC at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (their spam/phishing/fraud address). If you do, at the beginning of the subject line add "No Loss Incurred; for your database." BTW, for Nigerian scam emails it's the Secret Service who is the clearing house. Forward such junk to [EMAIL PROTECTED], again adding the "No Loss... " to the subject line. When I'm doing this, I usually prefer to go into the message properties and View Source, which reveals the full headers. Then copy all (Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C) and paste it into the junk at the end of the original message. Having the full headers gives them a lot more to work with.

Cheers,
Scott

DELETE. Do NOT OPEN, even out of curiosity. OPEN---Bang! You got a virus, dummy.

Unless of course you use a decent email client, in which case you can open, laugh at it, then delete with no problem :-)
