Several things you can do... although, they're not always the most
convenient methods. "Convenient" to me is just hitting forward, not fiddling
with all the header stuff. We talked about being able to put in a bogus FROM
address. Well, you can always put in a modified email address. For example,
if my address is sirtroth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, I can instead put for the FROM
field sir_troth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or sirtroth_DO_NOT_REPLY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx This
way, the recipient will know its you, but can't reply by just hitting REPLY.
Further, forwarding to a million people won't necessarily get you on their
lists. But... this is protects from people hitting the FORWARD and REPLY
buttons. Any common sense person can just look at it and figure out the
address. This just makes it harder.
Of course, every situation tends to need a specific solution. Awhile ago, I
had someone who continued to forward me mpeg joke clips. While the majority
of the clips were 2MB to 4MB in size, some were almost 10MB. Being that my
old Mindspring is only 10MB max, AND I receive a ton of email regularly, I
really didn't need to have this "junk" mail sent. Not to mention, that on
many occasions I check my mail from work, on a "dial-up". Regardless of how
many times I told this idiot (who was a personal friend of mine in
real-life) he continued to send them. He would say OK, and then send. The
way I stopped it?... I set up a rule on my other mail client that when there
was "any" mail from this guy that contained an attachment, it would forward
it back to him 5 times, each with the attachment PLUS a message telling him
the mail bounced because I do not accept attachments. To me, it was a nice
auto setup. To him, it was inconvenient and annoying, and baffled him why it
was bouncing. He actually believed it to be coming from the mail server, a
true bounce. Result? It finally stopped.

That's what I am talking about!
Is there a way to protect the original sender so our email can't be used
later?
I like to share with my relatives but some of them are computer challenged
and can't figure out how to delete the from information sigh!! They
forward something I shared and out my good old addy goes, for tons of junk
emails!

BUT - you guys - you can put whatever you want it to say,
and I can still go into the properties in the e-mail and see
your address that it actually was sent from.
and - the reason that you wouldn't want your address showing
is because of the - I was going to say hundreds, but I think
it''s more like thousands - of people who forward jokes etc.
and never, ever remove ANY of the original senders
information. so it goes out all over the internet, and is
scooped up by unscroupulous people, and you get more and
more spam. plus - viruses from people who have that e-mail
that has your e-mail address sitting in it.

Right.. well, its just masking it, but the email addy still
goes with the
mail... whether its in the FROM field or REPLY-TO field.
But... most ISP's
don't have checks to verify the originating email address.
So, you can
pretty much put any address in there, and it'll work.
Such as... this specific post. Looks like its coming from
The Keyboard
Cowboy himself... but, hence, it is only Sir Troth.

Actually, it depends on the e-mail program In Poco, you can
leave out your=
e-mail address, name, etc. But you know, of course, that
all anyone has=
to do is hit reply and the e-mail address will be apparent.
