In my experience all these sleuthing techniques beyond looking at the
sending address are largely a waste of time and money unless you have
the
ability to pursue the originating entity. My magic is the delete option
*** That's what I mostly do too. Sometimes, I call my little boy to
show him.
He's 10 years old, and will surely be getting his own email soon, and he
needs
to know how to recognize this stuff.
Speaking of pictures - my mailer has a setting to disable showing them
inside emails.
It can be selectively enabled for specific addresses. The reason for
this is that
when you see a picture inside an email, it's often a link. Your mailer
reads the link
and automatically goes & gets the picture....from the spammer's server.
Which gives the
spammer a fair amount of information about your machine & environment.
