Great idea!! I think I'll try that! I may start with my
sister! although, she has gotten better about it!
My mom has a webTV, and it is near impossible, and too
complicated for her to remove all of this stuff. So I let
her go. Sometimes she'll forward something to me and ask me
to clean it for her so she can send it out to someone. She
doesn't even know about attachments, because if an e-mail
comes in with 30 attachments, in hers, it is just all one
big e-mail with every one of them already opened.

My pet peeve is people that forward you an email that was
forwarded by
somebody else that got it forwarded to them by somebody
else who also
recevied it as a forward from somebody that got it forwarded
to them by
somebody else that got it forwarded to them... and so on ad
infinitum. On
several occassions I have had to open as many as 30 or 40
messages to get to
what my "friend" wanted me to see.
I have preached on that topic so many times (along with the
use of BCC) that
very few people send me forwards anymore.
Nowadays when I get a forwarded message that was not cleaned
up or was
nested in another message I do a REPLY ALL to every address
in every nested
message telling them that I have sold their email address to
a dozen
different spammers. When they reply asking how I got their
address I
explain how I got it and how they can prevent others from
getting it. I
then suggest they tell their friends to protect their email
address by using
the BCC function. I also tell them I didn't really sell
their address.
