Absolutely correct!!  That's how people get SPAM ,chuckle>

Using a temp address is a good thing to do.  Here's the one I use, primarily=
 for purchases, etc., so I get a receipt, but no SPAM later.  It's in=
 French, but intuitive.  Select "8 jours" which means eight days -- that's=
 how long it will be valid.

=A0 | =A0 Your point is good but I send jokes to people who forward my

=A0 | =A0 writing from a throwaway address lately (hotmail rather than my

=A0 | =A0 Someone I did NOT know actually answered one of the jokes I had

=A0 | =A0 address is being sent out to potentially thousands of people. =A0I
=A0 | =A0 have requested several times that they not forward my messages
=A0 | =A0 but cut and paste but I continue to get hundreds of email
=A0 | =A0 addresses forwarded to me so I know they are not cutting them out.
=A0 |
=A0 | =A0 Since there are a few people who reply it is not practical to
=A0 | =A0 send an address that is completely anonymous.

=A0 |
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 Actually, that's incorrect. I can put whatever I want in
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 the FROM address, and going into the properties will NOT
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 give you the correct email address its coming from. You can
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 see my IP address and my ISP that I used, most of the time,
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 but if I don't enter my email address you'll never see it
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 in the properties cause the information was never sent out.
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 Even the ISP doesn't know what it is, in a sense. They only
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 know what account of theirs was used
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 to send the email. They haven't a clue if it was me, my
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 wife, my son, etc.
=A0 | =A0 =A0|
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 About not showing your address and the reasoning... well,
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 yes, I can see WHY
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 you wouldn't want people to see it... but, why would you
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 send anyone a joke
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 or article or anything interesting for that matter without
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 your email address? Unless you're entering who its from in
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 the body, sending mail without a FROM address doesn't seem
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 very useful for me (unless with malicious or deceiving
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 intent), cause... well, let me give you me, for example. If
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 I receive an email and its from someone I don't know or
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 from a blank email addy, I don't even bother with the
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 REPLYING bit to see what shows up in the address field. I
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 just delete it. I don't bother with it. I would assume most
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 people are the same.

=A0 | =A0 =A0|
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 BUT - you guys - you can put whatever you want it to say,
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 and I can still go into the properties in the e-mail and
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 see your address that it actually was sent from.
=A0 | =A0 =A0|
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 and - the reason that you wouldn't want your address
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 showing is because of the - I was going to say hundreds,
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 but I think it''s more like thousands - of people who
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 forward jokes etc. and never, ever remove ANY of the
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 original senders
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 information. so it goes out all over the internet, and is
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 scooped up by unscroupulous people, and you get more and
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 more spam. plus - viruses from people who have that e-mail
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 that has your e-mail address sitting in it.

=A0 | =A0 =A0|
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 Right.. well, its just masking it, but the email addy still
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 goes with the
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 mail... whether its in the FROM field or REPLY-TO field.
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 But... most ISP's
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 don't have checks to verify the originating email address.
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 So, you can pretty much put any address in there, and it'll
=A0 | =A0 =A0| =A0 work.
