WORDS
OF CAUTION!
- Before opening
any attachment, particularly
from known senders,
please ask your senders
(only
if known senders) if they actually meant to include an
attachment in their e-mail. We suggest you
NEVER
open an attachment from an unknown
sender
(just delete the attachment, then empty the trash) and
you never
reply to an unknown
sender.
That means don't
reply to spammers
and
don't ask to be removed from their list! You are only
confirming to them that you are a live e-mail
address.
- If you send an
attachment to people, please run it through your virus
protection software first. We suggest
you
write something
in the text portion of the message
that
clearly identifies it as coming from you
and your
specific reason for sending it.
- If you are
sending to an addressee
list, we
advise you to
send it "bcc"
(blind courtesy copy) to protect your addressees'
e-mail addresses from wider, unwanted exposure on the
Internet - even if you send to friends and family.
When forwarded, most people send along the whole list
of names. Some mail programs automatically add new
names to their address book. You can understand the
multiplier effect when worms hit an address book. It
also explains why you receive virus attachments from
infected people you don't know.
